Don't Waste Your LifeMillions of people are wasting their lives pursuing dreams of happiness that don't rise above a good marriage, nice kids, a successful career, a nice car, fun vacations, nice friends, a fun retirement, a painless death, and (hopefully) no hell. John Piper calls this a tragedy in the making. He argues that we were created for joy. We were designed to have one passion. In this book he describes his own journey toward this great, single passion. And He pleads that at all costs we pursue our joy in the crucified Christ, who is the glory of God. The cost is great. But the joy is worth any cost. Read this book online (1.3MB PDF). Additional Resources

Endorsements
"Piper's thundering message and clarion call pierce the layers of nonsense that clutter our hearts and lives, mesmerizing and distracting us all from what matters most. Don't Waste Your Life is a passionate and magnetic plea, drawing a generation back from the brink of irrelevant living, propelling them toward lives filled with the wonder of God."- Louie Giglio
Testimonies
I've been reading your book Don't Waste Your Life and God has truly spoken to me through it. I'm 19 and just became a youth minister at a church in South Texas. I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to tell every young person I see - I'm going to beg them not to waste their life on the superficialities of this world - not to be too easily pleased. I feel it would be a great tragedy for me to do otherwise.
By the grace of God, the Lord in His wonderful, loving providence has used the book Don't Waste Your Life to instill within me a fresh passion to do all things for the glory of God. Your book not only confirmed all the things that the Lord was speaking to me through his Spirit by his Word, but has made me rethink my whole life's ambitions. I thank God for your ministry and for this book. They have been used by our Lord to help edify me to a closer relationship with the Father and his Son.
Don't Waste Your Life is changing my life in a radical way. I feel the Lord is calling me to reach college students in this generation, and the next, to become passionately in love with who God really is.
Just wanted to say God bless you and Thank you. My wife and I are currently reading Don't Waste Your Life, which has inspired a weekly chat with our church. Just wanted to say thanks.
