With the helpful materials in this newly designed kit, small groups and classes will maximize John Piper's biblical charge to make our lives count for eternity.
Ask the average person to sum up his ideal life in a few words, and he'd describe the American dream: College. Job. Marriage. House. Kids. Comfortable income. Retire.
Though God designed people for far more than this, nevertheless millions waste their lives on such "fatal success"-all because they have not awakened to the simple, biblical reality that "to live is Christ, and to die is gain." But this valuable resource can assist churches, small groups, and teachers in reversing that empty trend.
The newly redesigned kit combines a group study edition based on John Piper's best-selling book Don't Waste Your Life, with a ten-session DVD featuring his teaching, plus a full-length study guide and leader materials. It contains everything a ministry or facilitator needs to stimulate discussion within a group and to convey Piper's passion to make our lives count for eternity.

“Risk is right. Be mastered by one thing. Make much of Christ and him crucified. Those exhortations—and many more like them—are just as relevant today as they were twenty years ago. As a young man, I was captivated by Piper’s pleas for ‘fear-defeating joy in Jesus Christ.’ I still need this message, but now I want my children to hear it as well. I’m confident, and prayerful, that God will continue to use this powerful book for twenty more years and beyond.”
Kevin DeYoung, Senior Pastor, Christ Covenant Church, Matthews, North Carolina; Associate Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte
“This message changed my generation. I hope it will change the next ones too. We never grow out of the need to be reminded that God demands our souls, our lives, our all.”
