Turning the Westminster Catechism on its head, he summarizes his Christian Hedonism as this: “The chief end of man is to glorify God BY enjoying Him forever” (2011, p.18). This book has certainly been the most theological book of our experience, as Piper digs deep, chapter by chapter, into the intricate truths of Scripture, all to achieve his goal of proving that “Christian Hedonism” ought to be a driving force of every believer.
This was my small group’s fourth book to complete since forming last Spring, and as far as knowledge of God goes, I think John Piper‘s Desiring God has been the most influential (as far as practical living goes, I’ll have to bend towards Kris Lundgaard’s The Enemy Within, though this certainly was a close second).
