When I Don't Desire God
How to Fight for Joy
Book • 2005
In this book, John Piper addresses the dilemma faced by many Christians who, despite understanding the doctrine of Christian Hedonism, find themselves lacking in joy and satisfaction in God. Piper argues that joy in God is not merely an optional aspect of Christian commitment but is essential for showing God’s worthiness and sustaining sacrifices of love.
He provides practical strategies such as immersing oneself in the Word, prayer, and seeing God in the world around us.
The book also discusses the role of spiritual disciplines, meditation on Scripture, and the importance of community and bodily health in cultivating joy in God.
