Summary

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.

excellent

What did you like best about this story?

I've tried to read this book before but not got very far, now I know why. The first half of the book basically deals with why we should desire God and enjoy Him. It's pretty hard going. However, the second half switches to practical things you can do. In some ways it's fairly predictable: read your Bible, pray, meet with other Christians. But there are also things like enjoying creation and the arts, and reading great Christian authors. I found it really did reignite a passion to know God better. And more importantly, it makes it feel attainable rather than something beyond my grasp. It's not going to be the solution to all your problems (it doesn't claim to be), but it certainly helped me.
