The weight of glory is a happy burden. Thus God is the happiest Being in the Universe. To know Him in His pleasures is to see Him as He is- and to have a fresh encounter with His transforming presence. If you are hungry for this deep delight, consider the gladness of His great heart. The things that make God glad are the measures of His greatness. Christ and the cross. Choosing His people and bruising His Son. Creating the world and revealing His worth. The gladness of His people in the greatness of His glory. // John Piper has been the senior pastor to Bethlehem Baptist Church in Menneapolis, Minnesota, since 1980. He holds degrees from Wheaton College, Fuller SEMInary, and the University of Munich (Dr. theol.). A respected theologian and author, Dr. Piper has authored many books including the best seller, Desiring God. He and his wife Noël have four sons and one daughter.

      Grover Gardner narrates with convincing clarity why God delights in being God and why He delights in His creation. Gardner also helps the listener understand why the Lord is pleased with His people, and why they should be pleased with the things that please God. Drawing upon St. Augustine and Jonathan Edwards, Gardner methodically explains Piper's reasoning with an easy-listening style, devoid of heavy theology but exquisitely balanced with scripture as its backbone. Listening to this CD is like sitting before Piper's pastoral teaching at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis. Strongly recommended for individuals hungry for more of God in their lives. G.D.W.
