description: Each of us is hard-wired to pursue our happiness. We long for significant, profound joy. Some try to satisfy it with exotic vacations, high-tech gadgets, career success, sports, academics, drug experimentation, even ascetic rigors.Yet the longing remains. Why?In The Dangerous Duty of Delight , John Piper turns our heart toward the one true object of human desire and God. Piper shows from Scripture that pursuing our happiness in Christ is not optional for the Christian, but essential. Come along on a journey from desperate desire to infinite delight. Learn how you were created for ultimate satisfaction in Him, and how this new perspective will change your attitudes toward worship, relationships, material goods—and everything .“ Our hearts are restless until they find their rest in Thee.”--Saint Augustine
