‘Mind-hammering and heart-warming, Desiring God ignites a passion for God that would set the world ablaze if it were the norm and not the exception today.’
- Os Guinness, author of Time for Truth
The pursuit of pleasure is not optional. It is essential. Scripture reveals that the great business of life is to glorify God by enjoying him for ever. In this paradigm-shattering work, John Piper reveals that the debate between duty and delight doesn’t truly exist: delight is our duty. Join him as he stuns you again and again with life-impacting truths you saw in the Bible, but never dared to believe.

Commendations
‘… a modern manual of true spirituality.’
R. C. Sproul
'…a soul-stirring celebration of the pleasures of knowing God … a must-read for every Christian, and a feast for the spiritually hungry.’
- John MacArthur
‘The communion of a longing soul and a satisfying Christ is at the center of God’s plan. Piper makes this overlooked, contradicted, trivialized and sentimentalized message clear and compelling. Desiring God is a classic – now it’s even richer.’
- Larry Crab
‘The healthy biblical realism of this study in Christian motivation comes as a breath of fresh air. Jonathan Edwards, whose ghost walks through most of Piper’s pages, would be delighted with his disciple.’
- J. I. Packer
