Desiring God

" The purpose of Man is to Glorify God
and to enjoy Him forever "
DESIRING GOD, by John Piper

I was once a young high school student back then when i first got a glimpse of how life should go about. A nice lady pastor got me this book. I thought, "sheez...God is so good, its just but right to enjoy God, to find pleasure in knowing Him, to glorify Him! I love God, i enjoy Him, I enjoy His blessings, His Word, and I find it real easy to enjoy being with Him! Why then would a man write so many things about enjoyment? Why?, does grown-ups find it hard to DELIGHT in experiencing such a simple emotion?"

Years went by...duties came...responsibilities grew...
oh...that's why!

then little by little, passion dwindled...

Suddenly debate between Duty and Delight existed.

Hope this review would enourage you to get a copy and read this book written many years ago, back when we were both young, passionate, and eager to enjoy Christ, until life's responsibilities came, and suddenly all those eternal pleasures were hard to find:
