What do you do when you discover that you're not satisfied in God
the way he wants you to be? Joy is more than an afterthought of the
Christian life; it is the sustaining fruit of a relationship with
God. With a radical passion for Christ's glory, John Piper helps
you find the joy God wants you to have. For over twenty-five years
John Piper has trumpeted the truth that "God is most glorified in
us when we are most satisfied in him." He calls it Christian
Hedonism. The problem is that many people, after being persuaded,
find that this truth is both liberating and devastating. It's
liberating because it endorses our inborn desire for joy. And it's
devastating because it reveals that we don't desire God the way we
should. What do you do when you discover the good news that God
wants you to be content in him, but then find that you aren't? If
joy in God were merely the icing on the cake of Christian
commitment, this book would be insignificant. But Piper argues that
joy is so much more. Our being satisfied in God is necessary to
show God's worthiness and to sustain sacrifices of love. Jesus
endured the cross for the joy that was set before him. He tasted
it. It sustained him through the deepest suffering. His Father was
glorified. His people were saved. That is what joy in God does. The
absolutely urgent question becomes: What can I do if I don't have
it? With a pastor's heart and with radical passion for the glory of
Christ, John Piper helps you answer that question.
