"Desiring God is a paradigm-shattering work that dramatically alters common perspectives on relating to God. Piper reveals that there really is no need to choose between duty and delight in the Christian life. In fact, for the follower of Jesus, delight is the duty, because Christ is most magnified in His people when they are most satisfied in Him."
I must confess I did not finish reading this book. Don't misunderstand it was not because I didn't believe in what he was saying. I just had a hard time following his lead. My God is an awesome God! I sincerely try in ALL things to be thankful and satisfied. Do I succeed - not all the time. But, that would be because I have placed other things ahead of God. When I keep Him first in my life then I look forward to His leading. I must say that this book was more than I could understand. Possibly it simply was not the right time for me to read it. This may be the right time for you.
I received this book for free from Multnomah for this review.
