Book Description

April 30, 2009

This valuable resource is designed to be used in a ten-session, guided group study that examines each chapter of John Piper's best-selling book.

The average person would sum up his ideal life in words that describe the American dream: College. Job. Marriage. House. Kids. Comfortable income. Retire. But did God design people for far more than this?

Yes, declares John Piper. Nevertheless, millions waste their lives on such trivial pursuits-all because they have not awakened to the simple, biblical reality that "to live is Christ, and to die is gain." This individualized resource, in accord with the other components in the redesigned Don't Waste Your Life Group Study Kit, can assist churches, small groups, and teachers in reversing that empty trend.

This full-length study guide is designed for use in a ten-session group study that explores each chapter of John Piper's best-selling book. It contains clearly defined objectives for each lesson, questions for reflection and discussion, a leader's guide and other supplemental resources, and blank pages for note-taking-all to stimulate life-changing discussion within a group and to convey Piper's passion to make our lives count for eternity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where Was This Book 20 years Ago?! July 3, 2008
Format:Paperback
Like all his books, John Piper asks hard questions and then presses you for an answer. While he encourages you to think, to reflect, to consider, to - as the Berean's did - search the Scriptures to see if these things are true, John delivers his message with a sense of immediacy and urgency that will not be denied. You will find yourself waking in the night thinking about some well-turned phrase, question, or to ask yourself, "What IF..." I loved this book and bought WHAT JESUS DEMANDS OF THE WORLD after reading it.

This book will be dog-earred, bookmarked, highlighted, and discussed. It compells you to talk about it. Buy it.

Lots of good questions for each chapter. Must read each chapter in the main book before using the corresponding chapter in this study guide.

3.0 out of 5 stars Over Priced July 13, 2011
By Anna
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
John Piper is always good. There is no complaint about the content of this study guide. It is the quality of this book that I don't like. It is flimsy like a magazine so, while it works fine for the publisher's intended use, it is not suitable for keeping in a book collection. To me...this book is simply over priced - especially because it is also available as a free download.
