Description
Book Introduction
I dedicate my life's passion
What is the only thing?

It is better to lose your life than to waste it!
Are you going to live like that, holding on to something that has no value?

A steady seller chosen by 1 million readers worldwide,

Newly published in a revised and expanded edition!
To a generation that has lost its direction in life
A book that once again asks about the 'true purpose' of life!

What does it mean to not waste life? Is it "using time efficiently?" "Living diligently and not being lazy?" "Succeeding in one's field"? If life's purpose and direction are wrong, all of this is a waste.
Achievements made without God, passions built up without God, are simply a life lived for things that will eventually disappear.
True waste is aimless zeal, and true purpose begins with living only for God.

If you are a Christian, you are not your own.
Because Christ gave His life and bought you.
God created you for this purpose.
God bought you for this purpose.
This is the meaning of your life.
How will you live now?

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.26

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.56

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.82

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.125

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.226

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.279

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.
--- p.295

Publisher's Review
An Evangelical Mentor for a Life Without Waste
John Piper's One Passion for God


This book leads us not to a safe and smooth life, but to a life of following the cross and surrendering everything to God.
I also challenge you to live and die with a single passion to glorify God, boasting only in Christ on the cross.
If you live a life that pleases God, your life will be difficult and your risks will be high, but your joy will be full.
Some of us may die serving Christ.
This is not a tragedy.
The tragedy is that I value my life more than Christ.

Why this book now, again?

This revised and expanded edition features a newly written preface, revised paragraph divisions, and improved content, making it even more resonant with today's youth, teenagers, and all those contemplating their paths of faith.
Follow risk over comfort, and eternal values ​​over worldly success.
