The Pleasures of God: Meditations on God's Delight in Being God

<p><b>THE SOURCE OF TRUE SATISFACTION.</b><br> &nbsp;<br> Isn’t it true—we really don’t know someone until we understand what makes that person happy?&nbsp; And so it is with God!<br> &nbsp;<br> What does bring delight to the happiest Being in the universe?&nbsp; John Piper writes, that it’s only when we know what makes God glad that we’ll know the greatness of His glory.&nbsp; Therefore, we must comprehend “the pleasures of God.”<br> &nbsp;<br> Unlike so much of what is written today, this is not a book about <i>us.</i> It is about the One we were made <i>for</i>—God Himself. In this theological masterpiece—chosen by <i>World Magazine</i> as one of the 20th Century’s top 100 books, John Piper reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him.&nbsp; Then we will be able to drink deeply—and <i>satisfyingly—</i> from the only well that offers living water.&nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> What followers of Jesus need now, more than anything else, is to know and love—behold and embrace—the great, glorious, sovereign, happy God of the Bible.<br> &nbsp;<br> <i>“This is a unique and precious book that everybody should read more than once.”</i><br> J.I.
