Into the book
"I've lived in vain! I've lived in vain!" At that young age, God awakened in me the vigilance and passion that life should not be wasted.
The thought of me wailing in my old age, saying, "I've lived in vain! I've lived in vain!" is terrifying and horrifying.
--- p.20
If you don't pray, dream, plan, and strive to glorify God in every aspect of your life, you are wasting your life.
God created us for this purpose.
That is, He created us to live lives that bring us closer to the reality of God's greatness, beauty, and infinite worth.
--- p.54
Boast only in the cross of Jesus Christ.
Just think about this one thing.
Live with only this passion.
Boast only in the cross.
The word 'boast' can be translated as 'rejoice' or 'be happy'.
Rejoice only in the cross of Christ.
Rejoice only in the cross of Christ.
--- p.81
Take up your cross and follow Jesus.
Only in this way can we live for Christ and die for gain.
In all other ways, life is wasted.
--- p.129
The way we honor God in our worldly affairs is by working according to a plan that delights, trusts, and glorifies God, based on our creativity and diligence.
God created us to work.
--- p.232
God rarely calls us to a more comfortable life.
But God is always calling us to know Him more and to enjoy His enduring grace more deeply.
--- p.290
Lord, let no one who reads this book end up saying, 'I lived in vain!'
By your mighty Spirit and your penetrating word, may those who confess Christ as Lord value him more than their own lives, and may they feel deep in their souls that since Christ is life, death is gain.
So that we may demonstrate the worth of Christ for all to see.
Through our praise, may Christ be praised throughout the world.
May Christ be exalted whether we live or die.
Let every place and every nation see how the joy of rejoicing in Jesus sets His people free from the power of greed and fear.
Let love overflow from your saints.
Let people please God, even if it means giving up our lives.
The thought of me wailing in my old age, saying, "I've lived in vain! I've lived in vain!" is terrifying and horrifying.

Publisher's Review
An Evangelical Mentor for a Life Without Waste
John Piper's One Passion for God
Many people live hard lives.
But who is this passion aimed at? Amidst the pressure to achieve faster and higher, driven solely by specs and worldly recognition, the truly important questions are being pushed to the back burner.
Now, let me ask myself, 'For whom am I living?'
And now let's find the answer to 'who should I live for?'
I hope that the single passion for God that John Piper conveys will awaken in the lives of everyone who reads this book.
May your day, your month, your year, and your entire life on this finite earth be filled with joy in God.
