Desiring God Note on Resources

2023 Preface

Twenty years ago, I wrote this book with students in mind. To my surprise and delight, for these two decades, countless people in their fifties and sixties have been provoked to change their life-plans. It seems they were about to waste the next twenty years of their lives on the fool’s errand of perpetual leisure. I am very happy about these changes.

I wonder if the reason for this is that retiring feels like turning twenty-two again. College is behind you, and the whole world lies open in front of you. Then just when you have finished reading a glossy retirement brochure from the sun belt, along comes a book that takes you by the shoulders, looks you in the eye, and says, Don’t waste your life!

The book is still for young adults—students or not. Career-beginners and career-finishers should both be dreamers. You get one life. Then eternity. That life has different seasons. None of them is designed mainly for leisure.

Ralph Winter said, In America, men don’t die of old age. They die of retirement. That’s a catchy way of saying the human soul languishes in too much leisure. It’s true if you’re twenty-two, and it’s true if you’re seventy-two. God made us for more.

This book is about a kind of joy that never ends. The peculiar twist is that this joy makes God look like the supreme Treasure that he is. The unwasted life is based on the discovery that our gladness and God’s glory reach their apex together.

But there is a warning. The path of God-exalting joy will cost you your life. Jesus said, Whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it (Mark 8:35). In other words, it is better to lose your life than to waste it.

If you live gladly to make others glad in God, your life will be hard, your risks will be high, and your joy will be full. This is not a book about how to avoid a wounded life but how to avoid a wasted life. Some of you will die because of your allegiance to Jesus. That will not be a tragedy. Treasuring life above Christ is a tragedy.

Please know that I am praying for you, whether you are a student dreaming something radical for your life, or whether you are retired and hoping not to waste the final years. If you wonder what I am praying, read chapter 10. It’s my prayer. Remember, you have one life. That’s all. You were made for God. Don’t waste it.

2018 Preface

Believe it or not, Bob Dylan figures into this story. The reason I mention Dylan here is that between the first publication of this book (2003) and now (2017), he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Astonishing. The Nobel Prize website says the prize was for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.

There is tension between the Dylan in my story and the Dylan of the Nobel Prize acceptance speech. After telling us about how the classics Moby-Dick, All Quiet on the Western Front, and The Odyssey shaped his work, Dylan asks, So what does it all mean? I sat up with expectation. That’s what this book is about. What does life mean?

Then he answers, [My songs] can mean a lot of different things. If a song moves you, that’s all that’s important. I don’t have to know what a song means. . . . And I’m not going to worry about it—what it all means.

If that strikes you as heroic, or courageous, or authentic, you may not like this book, at least not at first. Because it strikes me as tragic. Seventy-six years is a lot of life from which to conclude, I’m not going to worry about what it all means. If you are moved, that’s all that’s important. No Mr. D., in a world of suffering like ours, and in the face of death and eternity, being moved is not enough.

This book is about a kind of joy that never ends. But the peculiar twist is that this joy makes God look like the supreme Treasure that he is. The unwasted life is based on the discovery that our deepest joy and God’s beautiful majesty reach their apex together.

There is a warning. The path of God-exalting joy will cost you your life. Jesus said, Whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it (Mark 8:35). In other words, it is better to lose your life than to waste it.

If you live gladly to make others glad in God, your life will be hard, your risks will be high, and your joy will be full. This is not a book about how to avoid a wounded life, but how to avoid a wasted life. Some of you will die in the service of Christ. That will not be a tragedy. Treasuring life above Christ is a tragedy.

I hope I am wrong about Bob Dylan. When he says, I’m not going to worry about what it all means, maybe he really means, "I’m not going to worry, because I have discovered life’s great meaning, and I don’t need to worry anymore. Maybe he really does believe The answer is blowin’ in the wind." The answer. You’ll see how that song figured into my story. It did not lead me to believe that there is no answer.

Please know that I am praying for you, whether you are a student dreaming something radical for your life or whether you are retired and hoping not to waste the final years. If you wonder what I am praying, read chapter 10. It is my prayer.

For now, I thank God for you. My joy grows with every soul that seeks the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Remember, you have one life. That’s all. You were made for God. Don’t waste it.

My Search for a Single Passion to Live By

My father was an evangelist. When I was a boy, there were rare occasions when my mother and sister and I traveled with him and heard him preach. I trembled to hear my father preach. In spite of the predictable opening humor, the whole thing struck me as absolutely blood-earnest. There was a certain squint to his eye and a tightening of his lips when the avalanche of biblical texts came to a climax in application.

I’ve Wasted It, I’ve Wasted It

Oh, how he would plead! Children, teenagers, young singles, young married people, the middle-aged, old people—he would press the warnings and the wooings of Christ into the heart of each person. He had stories, so many stories, for each age group—stories of glorious conversions and stories of horrific refusals to believe followed by tragic deaths. Seldom could those stories come without tears.

For me as a boy, one of the most gripping illustrations my fiery father used was the story of a man converted in old age. The church had prayed for this man for decades. He was hard and resistant. But this time, for some reason, he showed up when my father was preaching. At the end of the service, during a hymn, to everyone’s amazement, he came and took my father’s hand. They sat down together on the front pew of the church as the people were dismissed. God opened his heart to the gospel of Christ, and he was saved from his sins and given eternal life. But that did not stop him from sobbing and saying, as the tears ran down his wrinkled face—and what an impact it made on me to hear my father say this through his own tears—I’ve wasted it! I’ve wasted it!

This was the story that gripped me more than all the stories of young people who died in car wrecks before they were converted—the story of an old man weeping that he had wasted his life. In those early years God awakened in me a fear and a passion not to waste my life. The thought of coming to my old age and saying through tears, I’ve wasted it! I’ve wasted it! was a fearful and horrible thought to me.

Only One Life, ’Twill Soon Be Past

Another riveting force in my young life—small at first, but oh so powerful over time—was a plaque that hung in our kitchen over the sink. We moved into that house when I was six. So I suppose I looked at the words on that plaque almost every day for twelve years, till I went away to college at age eighteen. It was a simple piece of glass painted black on the back with a gray link chain snug around it for a border and for hanging. On the front, in old English script, painted in white, were the words:

Only one life,

’Twill soon be past;

Only what’s done

for Christ will last.

To the left, beside these words, was a painted green hill with two trees and a brown path that disappeared over the hill. How many times, as a little boy, and then as a teenager with pimples and longings and anxieties, I looked at that brown path (my life) and wondered what would be over that hill. The message was clear. You get one pass at life. That’s all. Only one. And the lasting measure of that life is Jesus Christ. That very plaque hung on the wall by our front door for years. I saw it every time I left home.

What would it mean to waste my life? That was a burning question. Or, more positively, what would it mean to live well—not to waste life, but to . . . ? How to finish that sentence was the question. I was not even sure how to put the question into words, let alone what the answer might be. What was the opposite of not wasting my life? To be successful in a career? Or to be maximally happy? Or to accomplish something great? Or to find the deepest meaning and significance? Or to help as many people as possible? Or to serve Christ to the full? Or to glorify God in all I do? Or was there a point, a purpose, a focus, an essence to life that would fulfill every one of those dreams?

The Lost Years

I had forgotten how weighty this question was for me until I looked through my files from those early years. Just when I was about to leave my South Carolina home in 1964, never to return as a resident, Wade Hampton High School published a simple literary magazine of poems and stories. Near the back, with the byline Johnny Piper, was a poem. I will spare you. It was not a good poem. Jane, the editor, was merciful. What matters to me now was the title and first four lines. It was called The Lost Years. Beside it was a sketch of an old man in a rocking chair. The poem began:

Long I sought for the earth’s hidden meaning;

Long as a youth was my search in vain.

Now as I approach my last years waning,

My search I must begin again.

Across the decades that separate me from that poem I can hear the fearful refrain, I’ve wasted it! I’ve wasted it! Somehow there had been wakened in me a passion for the essence and the main point of life. The ethical question whether something is permissible faded in relation to the question, what is the main thing, the essential thing? The thought of building a life around minimal morality or minimal significance—a life defined by the question, What is permissible?—felt almost disgusting to me. I didn’t want a minimal life. I didn’t want to live on the outskirts of reality. I wanted to understand the main thing about life and pursue it.

Existentialism Was the Air We Breathed

The passion not to miss the essence of life, not to waste it, intensified in college—the tumultuous late sixties. There were strong reasons for this, reasons that go well beyond the inner turmoil of one boy coming of age. Essence was under assault almost everywhere. Existentialism was the air we breathed. And the meaning of existentialism was that existence precedes essence. That is, first you exist and then, by existing, you create your essence. You make your essence by freely choosing to be what you will be. There is no essence outside you to pursue or conform to. Call it God or meaning or purpose—it is not there until you create it by your own courageous existence. (If you furrow your brow and think, This sounds strangely like our own day and what we call postmodernism, don’t be surprised. There is nothing new under the sun. There are only endless repackagings.)

I recall sitting in a darkened theater watching the theatrical offspring of existentialism, the theater of the absurd. The play was Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot. Vladimir and Estragon meet under a tree and converse as they wait for Godot. He never comes. Near the end of the play a boy tells them Godot will not be coming. They decide to leave but never move. They go nowhere. The curtain falls, and God[ot] never comes.

That was Beckett’s view of people like me—waiting, seeking, hoping to find the Essence of things, instead of creating my own essence with my free and unbridled existence. Nowhere—that’s where you’re going, he implied, if you pursue some transcendent Point or Purpose or Focus or Essence.

Reviews for Don't Waste Your Life

[bell7_1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Since he was young, John Piper has been motivated by this idea of not wasting his life and time on earth - what has he been called here to do? In ten chapters, he explores the main purposes of a Christian: to glorify God by finding our joy in him, and to love others by making them glad in God.I was really hoping I had a review from when I first read this book about eleven years ago, because it's hard to try to sum in for a review. Piper covers a lot of ground, and the first few chapters of this book were intellectually demanding and tough for my small group to take in. But in the end, he does get practical, using a lot of Scriptural support to talk about how we spend our time, money, what our witness should be like at work, and participating in missions. There's a lot here to challenge and convict, and we were glad we stuck with it.

[justagirlwithabook · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book is part of my collection that really focuses in on Biblical Commentary more than anything else (including some well known authors in the theological world). All of these books haven't been read cover to cover, but I've spent a lot of time with them and they've been helpful in guiding me through difficult passages (or if I desire to dig deeper).

[sparkleandchico · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I'm not a huge Piper fan which in some circles is tantamount to blasphemy. I don't agree with his Christian hedonism principle--it seems to me to be self-focused rather than God focused.

However, this book is a helpful reminder that our lives should be used for the glory of God. We are always on duty in His service and cannot afford to waste our time.

Recommended.

[kaitanya64 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This is the first book of Piper's that I have read. In it, he works through what makes life worthwhile and rewarding. From the Christian perspective, there can only be one answer. "Man's chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever" (Westminster Shorter Catechism). Piper simply expounds this concept with example and explanation, considering the various ways in which one's life can be "wasted" if the focus is on pleasure or worldly success. I enjoyed the book, but I felt rather than developing new arguments, Piper tends to repeat similar ideas in different forms, esp. in the later parts of the book. An inspirational read, but not great logical apologetics. Still, theologically sound.

[dannywahlquist · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

What a great book on focusing on the war versus merely existing. Some of my favorite quotes:
"He is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him."
"Because I was created by God & for His glory...My desire is to make knowing & enjoying God the passionate pursuit of my life." Louie Giglio
"We exist to spread a passion for the supremacy of God in all things for the joy of all peoples, through Jesus Christ."
"the cross is not the terrible end to an otherwise god-fearing and happy life, but it meets us at the beginning of our communion with Christ. When Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die." Dietrich Bonhoeffer
No one ever said that they learned their deepest lessons of life, or had their sweetest encounters with God, on the sunny days. People go deep with God when the drought comes. That is the way God designed it.
There is more of God's glory to be seen and savored through suffering than through self-serving escape.
But when all is said and done, the promise and design of God for people who do not waste their lives is clear. "All who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted" (2 Timothy 3:12). And when persecution pauses, the groanings of this age remain. "We ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies" (Romans 8:23). We will groan one way or the other. As Paul said, "sorrowful, yet always rejoicing" (2 Corinthians 6:10).
Paul had learned what love is. Love is not Christ's making much of us or making life easy. Love is doing what he must do, at great cost to himself (and often to us), to enable us to enjoy making much of him forever.
On the far side of every risk-even if it results in death-the love of God triumphs. This is the faith that frees us to risk for the cause of God. It is not heroism, or lust for adventure, or courageous self-reliance, or efforts to earn God's favor. It is childlike faith in the triumph of God's love-that on the other side of all our risks, for the sake of righteousness, God will still be holding us. We will be eternally satisfied in him. Nothing will have been wasted.
Affliction raised his sword to cut off the head of Paul's faith. But instead the hand of faith snatched the arm of affliction and forced it to cut off part of Paul's worldliness. Affliction is made the servant of godliness and humility and love. Satan meant it for evil, but God meant it for good.
Sometimes I use the phrase "wartime lifestyle" or "wartime mind-set." … It tells me that there is a war going on in the world between Christ and Satan, truth and falsehood, belief and unbelief. It tells me that there are weapons to be funded and used, but that these weapons are not swords or guns or bombs but the Gospel and prayer and self-sacrificing love (2 Corinthians 10:3-5). And it tells me that the stakes of this conflict are higher than any other war in history; they are eternal and infinite: heaven or hell, eternal joy or eternal torment (Matthew 25:46).
I am wired by nature to love the same toys that the world loves. I start to fit in. I start to love what others love. I start to call earth "home."
when the trifling fog of life clears and I see what I am really on earth to do, I groan over the petty pursuits that waste so many lives-and so much of mine.
Oh, that young and old would turn off the television, take a long walk, and dream about feats of courage for a cause ten thousand times more important than American democracy-as precious as that is. If we would dream and if we would pray, would not God answer?
if your work creates a web of redemptive relationships and becomes an adornment for the Gospel of the glory of Christ, your satisfaction will last forever and God will be exalted in your joy.
Missions exists because worship 'doesn't. When this age is over, and the countless millions of the redeemed fall on their faces before the throne of God, missions will be no more. It is a temporary necessity. But worship abides forever. Worship, therefore, is the fuel and the goal of missions.
We are hypocrites to pretend enthusiasm for overseas ministry while neglecting the miseries at home.
Missions and mercy are inextricable because the very Gospel we take to the nations models and mandates mercy to the poor at home.
Help us to see that if we try to guard our wealth, instead of using it to show it's not our god, then we will waste our lives, however we succeed.

[chriskrycho · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I wish I could hand a copy of this book to every professing Christian under the age of 20. (And quite a few under the age of 100.)

[davegregg_1 · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

It's a great book. It does what it does well, but it doesn't deal with the possible (or even, likely) reaction that people might have to it. That is, to draw their sense of approval and validation from how successful they feel they are at "not wasting" their life. If they aren't what they consider to be successful at this, then they will feel less approved or loved by God (even if they know intellectually that isn't true). So if they aren't "successful," then they will be depressed. If they are "successful," then they will feel that all is well, but only because their identity and significance is attached to their performance. It can easily be a hidden lair of religion: a subtle snare of works-based righteousness. This is how "Don't Waste Your Life" almost ruined mine. I'm only now coming out of this myself.So, just remind yourself that your identity, significance, approval, validation, and justification come from Christ alone. You are loved and valued unconditionally. You don't have to justify your existence. You just have to live loved.

Absolutely one of the best books ever! It is so simple, but it hits so hard! This book literally got the fire going for me. I recommend anything by Piper!

[l_millsaps · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The world tells us that our ultimate goal should be the pursuit of our own happiness: a life of free of strife, struggle and pain. But does seeking this really result in fulfillment – or in the end, does it just leave us empty and longing for more? In his book, "Don't Waste Your Life", John Piper answers this question by explaining that a life spent focused on ourselves leaves us self-absorbed, self-centered, selfish and self-destructive. Instead, we should be focused on a passionate pursuit of God – on loving Him more, knowing Him better, and using everything we have been given to further His kingdom. Living for Him is the true road to joy, happiness and satisfaction – a life poured out, but never wasted.

Wow! This was an eye-opening book for me. Why are we here? What are we to be doing? These are hard questions for anyone to answer. However, Christian's don't necessarily have much better answers than their unsaved peers. This book will help point you in the right direction. Plenty of scripture supports the various points presented.

Piper argues very convincingly for putting Christ first in your life. This is one of Piper's best works, and very much worth the read.

This popular level devotional shows why the Christian should have hope and activity in their live of piety. To do or feel less is "wasting your life."

[lmathews_19 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Piper is an extremely redundant author. I read "When I Don't Desire God: How to Fight for Joy" prior to reading this book and it contained about 40-50% of the material in here. The book contains a very good message in the sense of demolishing the American Dream, but to understand Piper, one just needs to read one of his books. I am not a big fan of him but others are absolutely crazy about him. I would say don't waste your money on this book

[moorereason · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Don't Waste Your Life was the first Piper book I ever read. Piper is wonderfully hard to read because every sentence is so blood-earnest and full of power that you have be fully engaged to keep up with him. Fortunately, Piper brakes all his chapters up into short sections to you can stop and ponder what you've read, and it makes for easy stopping points since I usually don't get through a whole chapter in one sitting (kids are great!!). Like many things in life, the most challenging books to read are often the most profitable. I've tagged it as a "life changer," and I highly recommend it.

[slodavid_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Piper's challenge hits home yet again. We only have a few years to live our faith. God has called us to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Him. God has called us to live a risk-filled adventure for His glory, not to live for the end goal of a retirement collecting seashells.Powerful stuff. Inspiring. Encouraging. A necessary pep-talk from a coach that's going to give it to you straight and not mince words. It's half-time and the game is on the line.
