Hedonism & a Christian's Quest for a Fulfilling Relationship with God

I received Desiring God by John Piper from Waterbrook Multnomah with no strings attached other than to write an honest review of the book.

As I've admitted in the past, I have a tough time reading this type of book, the ones that are going to show you the right way to find God, or know God's plan, or love God more, or... well you get the picture.

I read Desiring God (this is the revised edition) and thought it was okay. I didn't get anything earth-shattering or ground-breaking from it.

The one thing that I did get from the book is one of Piper's main points (or so it seems to me) that "The chief end of man is to Glorify God by enjoying Him forever."

That's it, joy in knowing and loving and serving God.

The rest of it just seems like a Christian view of Plato and Aristotle, which it probably isn't, but it strikes me that way right now.

I will recommend this book because the pursuit of God is the most worthy thing that we can do.
