Desiring God Home Group Study

If God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him, then we must make it our aim to be as happy as we possibly can be in God. In other words: to be a Christian is to be a hedonist. For nearly three decades John Piper has labored to show the biblical foundation for a vision of God and the Christian life which he calls Christian Hedonism and to call people to pursue it with all their might. One of his earliest formulations of this vision came in a sermon series in the early 80s, which later was turned into the book Desiring God: Meditations of a Christian Hedonist. As our name suggests, one of the chief reasons Desiring God exists is to spread the message of this book. That is, our desire and great joy is to spread a passion for the supremacy of God in all things for the joy of all peoples through Jesus Christ.
