This valuable resource is designed to be used in a ten-session, guided group study that examines each chapter of John Piper's best-selling book.
The average person would sum up his ideal life in words that describe the American dream: College. Job. Marriage. House. Kids. Comfortable income. Retire. But did God design people for far more than this?
Yes, declares John Piper. Nevertheless, millions waste their lives on such trivial pursuits-all because they have not awakened to the simple, biblical reality that "to live is Christ, and to die is gain." This individualized resource, in accord with the other components in the redesigned Don't Waste Your Life Group Study Kit, can assist churches, small groups, and teachers in reversing that empty trend.
This full-length study guide is designed for use in a ten-session group study that explores each chapter of John Piper's best-selling book. It contains clearly defined objectives for each lesson, questions for reflection and discussion, a leader's guide and other supplemental resources, and blank pages for note-taking-all to stimulate life-changing 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.”
