Description
Newest, updated and revised edition! Scripture reveals that the great business of life is to glorify God by enjoying Him forever. In this paradigm-shattering classic, newly revised and expanded, John Piper reveals that we should never talk as though our duty to God and our delight in God conflict; to delight in God is our duty.

"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 God in the Dark
