The Pursuit of Pleasure Is Not Optional. It Is Essential In this DVD version of Desiring God--the classic description of Christian hedonism--John Piper explains how the supreme calling of life is to "glorify God by enjoying Him forever."nbsp;nbsp; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Drawing upon Scripture after Scripture, Piper shows why pursuing maximum joy is essential to glorifying God and, in what may be surprising to some, how God is ready to pursue with all His might our pleasure in Him! The implications of this truth are discussed in regard to conversion, worship, love, Scripture, prayer, money, marriage, missions, and suffering. nbsp; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;In ten sessions Piper teaches on:nbsp; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;* One Great Mission and Motivation nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;* A Summary of Christian Hedonism nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;* The Foundation of Christian Hedonism nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;* The Essence of Christian Hedonism nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;* The Grand Obligation nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;* How Then Shall We Fight for Joy? Recorded in HD with subtitles in English, these video sessions are ideal for use in adult and youth Sunday-school classes, small groups, retreats, classrooms, and families. To get the most from this resource, use it along with the Desiring God DVD Study Guide.
