Desiring God, Revised Edition by John Piper presents a compelling vision of the Christian life rooted in the truth that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him. Piper introduces Christian Hedonism, the biblical conviction that delighting in God is not optional but essential to faithful obedience and lasting joy.
Drawing deeply from Scripture, Piper shows how the pursuit of joy in God fuels worship, holiness, perseverance, and love for others. He addresses common misunderstandings about pleasure and self denial, demonstrating that true joy is found not in self centered living but in treasuring Christ above all else. The revised edition includes expanded chapters and clarifications that sharpen and strengthen the book’s central argument.
Both theological and practical, Desiring God has shaped a generation of believers to rethink what it means to live for God’s glory. It calls readers to a life of passionate faith, grounded in Scripture and sustained by a deep and abiding joy in God Himself.
