Earlier this year Multnomah released a revised edition of John Piper’s magnificent book, The Pleasures of God: Meditations on God’s Delight in Being God. Of this book, research professor New Testament Dr. D.A. Carson writes:
“The Pleasures of God is perhaps the most important book that John Piper has written. It is certainly the freshest and most penetrating. Many preachers and writers are calling Christians today to be more Godcentered. The irony is that even the call to be God-centered focuses attention on us, on what we must do. Certainly the Bible spends no small part of its pages telling us what we must do, but it does so out of profound God-centeredness. And here is a book that does not tell us what we must do to be God-centered; it simply is God-centered. Intoxicating.”
