With a radical passion for Christ's glory, John Piper helps you find the joy God wants you to have.
We all want to experience liberating, love-producing, risk-taking satisfaction in God. But the reality is that we often struggle to find, and hold onto, true and lasting joy—even when we have embraced the good news of God’s grace. So we face a crucial question: What should I do when I don’t desire God?
John Piper aims to help us find joy in Jesus that is so deep and so strong that it frees us from bondage to comfort and security, and impels us to live merciful and missional lives. Written with the radical hope that all Christians would experience the fullness of life in Christ, this book will help you fight for joy daily by leading you to rediscover the soul-satisfying glory of God.

The first 5 and a half chapters were repetative and hard work, but it was worth it if you perservered. From chapter 6 and a half the pages were full of gems. The conclusion also needed a lot of work.
This was a good book for my tired jaded heart. Piper's material is stirring and strong on scripture. As expected he desires us to be satisfied in God. I found him helpful on the link between emotions, the will and the body. He also encourages the reader in practical ways to meditate on Scripture. Although Piper addresses those whose joylessness has spiritual roots, he has a chapter for those whose darkness will not lift. I am very glad to have been pointed to this book.
