John Piper Explains Why the Christian Pursuit of Happiness Is Not Optional but Essential for Glorifying God
We are created to live for God’s glory, but is it wrong to pursue our own happiness? What if the two are connected? Finding supreme fulfilment in the Savior, rather than worldly pleasures, brings him ultimate glory. Or as John Piper summarizes: “Christ is most magnified in us when we are most satisfied in him.”
In this concise guide, Piper, host of the Ask Pastor John podcast, explores the concept of Christian Hedonism through an engaging Q&A format. He tackles 15 relatable questions, including “How could God make me happier than the things I love?” “If something makes me happy, does that mean it’s automatically okay to do?” and “Don’t we have to wait until heaven to experience happiness?” This winsome, theologically rich book helps readers trade short-lived desires for the enduring hope of Christ.
