The author of Desiring God reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Includes a study guide for individual and small-group use. Isn’t it true—we really don’t know someone until we understand what makes that person happy? And so it is with God! What does bring delight to the happiest Being in the universe? John Piper writes, that it’s only when we know what makes God glad that we’ll know the greatness of His glory. Therefore, we must comprehend “the pleasures of God.” Unlike so much of what is written today, this is not a book about us. It is about the One we were made for—God Himself. In this theological masterpiece—chosen by World Magazine 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. Then we will be able to drink deeply—and satisfyingly—from the only well that offers living water.

In the scriptures Ephesians 5: 21-29 the Bible tells us "Wives, submit to your own husbands as unto the Lord" v. 22, along with Ephesians 6: 1, "Children, obey your parents in the Lord" for this is right...My book is based on scriptures and the experiences I have had in life. I learned at the age of 31 when I moved back in with my parents to learn how to submit to them, which prepared me for learning how to submit to my own husband of 31 years but not without trial and error. God's mercy and forgiveness gives one hope to live by. I blended in the poems with the testimonies to help one to understand about Christ love. I pray this will encourage others to realize how important it is to obey God's word. His word comes with a promise, "He will never leave us nor forsake us" in our life's journey with Jesus.

In this history of the development of monotheism, the author explains how Israel's religion evolved from a cult of Yahweh as a primary deity among many to a fully defined monotheism with Yahweh as sole god.
