What do you do when you discover the
good news that God wants you to be
content in him, but then find that you
aren’t?
If joy in God were merely the icing on
the cake of Christian commitment, this
book would be insignificant. But Piper
argues that joy is so much more. Our
being satisfied in God is necessary to
show God’s worthiness and to sustain
sacrifices of love.
Jesus endured the cross for the joy
that was set before him. He tasted it.
It sustained him through the deepest
suffering. His Father was glorified.
His people were saved. That is what joy
in God does.
The absolutely urgent question becomes:
What can I do if I don’t have it? With
a pastor’s heart and with radical
passion for the glory of Christ, John
Piper helps you answer that question.
