Does the command to love God with all our heart  soul  and mind really obligate us to enjoy God above all things? Joy and delight are emotions after all  so isnt such love simply a decision of the will  not a feeling? According to John Piper  in this companion to the When I Dont Desire God DVD  emotions are commanded everywhere in Scripture. Theyre not just instructions to think a certain way but to feel a certain way. And though we dont have complete control of our emotions  eternity hangs on the presence of proper affections for God. Therefore  the fight for joy is not optional. It is essential. This study guide-focused on Pipers powerful teaching on DVD-explores the necessity and strategies of delighting in Christ in an eight-session  guided group study. Each guide features helps for reflection  penetrating questions  and five daily assignments per week. Along with the DVD  it is an ideal package that will lead groups of any size in the all-important fight for joy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44985051185205,"sku":"ByrdShop_1433502534","price":27.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781433502538.jpg?v=1770844489","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/when-i-dont-desire-god-how-to-fight-for-joy-study-guide-developed-by-desiring-god","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
