Desiring God - Part 1
I am currently reading Desiring God by John Piper. The book is subtitled “Meditations of a Christian Hedonist.”
You sure can’t beat the list of people who are recommending this book. The book has endorsements by John MacArthur, R.C. Sproul, Jerry Bridges, and others.
The main message of the book is that “God is most glorified in me when I am most satisfied in Him.” Piper begins with defining exactly what he means by a Christian Hedonist. This definition will develop more as the book progresses. The main verse that Piper uses to sum up the book is Nehemiah 8:10 (The joy of the Lord is your strength).
Piper’s goal is to teach us to be thoroughly and completely satisfied in God. This is an interesting idea, and I am excited to see what he has to say on the topic.
