In ten, fifteen-minute presentations, John Piper instructs small groups and classes in the essentials of making their lives count for eternity.
Most people slip by in life without a passion for God, spending their lives on trivial diversions, living for comfort and pleasure... and perhaps trying to avoid sin. Yet as John Piper teaches in this DVD and its companion materials, God has designed us for far more than this. We just have to awaken to the simple, biblical reality that "to live is Christ, and to die is gain." This valuable resource-part of the redesigned Don't Waste Your Life Group Study Kit-can assist churches, small groups, and teachers in that task.
Designed to be used in a ten-session, guided group study along with the companion components in the kit, each fifteen-minute DVD presentation explores the meaning and significance of making one's life count for eternity. Piper's rich teaching is a useful tool any leader or facilitator can use to direct members' understanding and guide them to treasure Christ above all.

“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.”

“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.”
