John Piper draws our gaze away from ourselves and onto our Lord Jesus Christ. Do we really desire Him above all else? The author offers ways we can learn to leave the world behind and focus on Christ.

“I want to go on living even after my death! And therefore I am grateful to God for this gift, this possibility of developing myself and of writing, of expressing all that is in me.
