People You Need to Know...John Piper


John Piper has a contagious passion for God's glory. When I read his books or listen to his sermons, he guides me to see how overwhelmingly amazing Jesus Christ is. He is most well known for his book Desiring God-Meditations of a Christian Hedonist. In this book he contends that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him. Therefore we should seek to find our full joy in God and He will be glorified from that. I am thankful for Dr. Piper. You should listen, and glean from the passion of this man of God.
John Piper is the pastor for preaching at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He has written a ton of books, and has a lifetime worth of content at DesiringGod.com.
