false 45364 7 Beginning where the foundational truth of Desiring God left off, that "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him," this expanded rerelease of another classic by John Piper will further explore a life-changing essential -- "We will be most satisfied in God when we know why God himself is most satisfied in God." Fully understanding the joy of God will draw the reader into an encounter with His overflowing, self-replenishing, all-encompassing grace -- the source of living water that all Christians desire to drink. The Pleasures of God will again put God at the center of Creation and leave the reader very satisfied in Him.<br><br><b>Be Most Satisfied in God… </b> <br><br><b>Because GOD Is Most Satisfied in God. </b> <br><br>You don&rsquo;t truly know someone until you know what makes him happy. Our pleasure is the measure of our character. So it is with God. We can only know the greatness of His glory, if we know what makes Him glad. Therefore we must understand “the pleasures of God.” <br><br>This is not a book about <i>you</i>. It&rsquo;s about the One you were made <i>for</i>—God Himself. In this theological tour de force, pastor John Piper navigates the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him, so that we might become like the One we behold. <br><br>What the church and world need today, more than anything else, is to know and love—behold and embrace—the great, glorious, sovereign, happy God of the Bible. 1555713 1991 The Pleasures of God: Meditations on God's Delight in Being God total:209|5:112|4:68|3:23|2:6|1:0| 209 913 353 36 4 0 false false Thu Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2002 Wed Jun 10 10:54:07 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 10 10:57:13 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Jun 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed May 27 06:54:55 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 11 08:59:03 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Sep 06 07:25:20 -0700 2007 Thu Sep 06 09:34:30 -0700 2007
We tend to think we are at the center of God's love, will, plans...well, think again says Piper (and God!).

Piper wisely points out that if, as Henry Scougal says, "The worth and excellency of a soul is to be m...more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Jan 27 00:00:00 -0800 2001 Wed Aug 19 07:36:36 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 19 07:39:03 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Apr 16 22:26:25 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 16 22:26:25 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Nov 03 14:19:34 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 14:20:54 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri May 29 08:14:26 -0700 2009 Fri May 29 08:25:07 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 23 18:00:17 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 23 18:05:34 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Feb 24 10:46:47 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 24 10:46:47 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1998 Fri Feb 27 19:58:02 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 27 19:58:23 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Sat Jul 04 21:33:44 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 06 22:13:45 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed May 27 07:33:09 -0700 2009 Wed May 27 07:33:26 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Nov 14 18:32:33 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 23 14:51:45 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Apr 02 06:12:35 -0700 2008 Tue May 13 03:16:15 -0700 2008 If you'...more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Aug 27 01:43:47 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 27 20:42:51 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Sep 29 06:21:59 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 22 11:18:36 -0700 2007 Mon Sep 29 06:21:59 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2001 Wed Apr 09 09:42:04 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 09 09:44:58 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Thu Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2001 Fri Aug 24 12:03:40 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 08 13:34:24 -0700 2007 2 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Wed Apr 16 17:35:54 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 16 17:37:11 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2000 Thu Dec 13 21:12:02 -0800 2007 Thu Dec 13 21:15:43 -0800 2007
