AlbakiReads Editorial

A Christian call to purposeful living

John Piper frames Christian life around Jesus’s call to lose one’s life for his sake, contrasting that commitment with the pursuit of comfort, pleasure, and diversion. The book argues that faith should shape how a person uses their life, directing attention toward purposes that Piper presents as lasting and God-exalting. Its emphasis is both devotional and challenging: it considers the risks involved in Christian commitment alongside the deeper joys Piper associates with living for the gospel. This second edition includes a revised preface, updated statistics, and minor content revisions.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Christians considering how faith can guide everyday priorities
  • Readers interested in devotional writing about commitment to the gospel
  • High school or college students seeking a Christian perspective on purposeful living

Book overview

In This Bestselling Book, John Piper Challenges Christians to a God-Exalting Life

Many spend their lives on trivial diversions, seeking earthly comfort and pleasure above all else. But Jesus said, "Whoever loses his life for my sake will save it," calling us into the eternal purpose and God-exalting life for which we were made.

In this bestselling book, John Piper warns readers of the dangers of an irrelevant life that counts for nothing and calls Christians to the deeper joys, and risks, that matter for eternity. This new edition features a fresh cover, a revised preface, and updated statistics.
