Desiring God
Meditations of a Christian Hedonist
Book • 2011
Desiring God is a seminal work by John Piper that challenges traditional views on the Christian life.
Piper argues that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him, and that the pursuit of joy and pleasure in God is not only permissible but essential.
The book delves into various aspects of Christian living, including conversion, worship, love, Scripture, prayer, money, marriage, missions, and suffering, all through the lens of Christian hedonism.
Piper draws heavily from Scripture and the writings of historical figures like Blaise Pascal, Jonathan Edwards, and C.S.
Lewis to support his thesis that true and lasting joy can only be found in God.
