God's Passion for His Glory

Living the Vision of Jonathan Edwards

This is a stunning truth: namely, that God's passion for his glory is the measure of his commitment to our joy.

In his essay, "The End for Which God Created the World," the great theologian Jonathan Edwards proclaimed that God's ultimate end is the manifestation of his glory in the highest happiness of his creatures. John Piper has devoted the past thirty years of his ministry to exploring the implications of this stunning truth for life and ministry. Understanding that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him, has made all the difference for John Piper and can transform your life as well.

Here Piper passionately demonstrates the relevance of Edwards' ideals for the personal and public life of modern evangelicals through his own book-length introduction to Edwards' incomparable essay, and the inclusion of that original, unabridged work. The result is a powerful and persuasive presentation of the things that matter most in the Christian life.
