"The radical pursuit of joy in God may cost you your life....But it will be worth it."

The world has an inconsolable longing, which it tries to satisfy with anything but God. Scenic vacations. Sexual exploits. Ascetic rigors. Managerial excellence. Sports extravaganzas. We have turned our back to the breathtaking beauty of God and fallen in love with our shadow. To delight in the Light is a dangerous duty indeed. It may cost you your friends. It may cost you your reputation. It may cost you your life. But it will be worth it. Because the steadfast love of the Lord is better than life (Psalm 63:3)!

In this book John Piper distills the essence of "Christian Hedonism." This is not a word game. It is the Biblical reality of the glorified God and the satisfied soul. We invite you to come and feast.
