When I Don't Desire God
by John Piper
Piper's practical sequel to Desiring God for people who believe joy in God matters but cannot feel it: the fight for joy through Scripture, prayer, the body, suffering and community. Honest about dryness.
Read it if…

Skip it if…
you have not read Desiring God.
Try instead: Pure Pleasure →
Three things you will actually use
- Joy is fought for, not waited for.
- The body affects the soul; rest it.
- Scripture is the primary fuel.
Do this first
Read the chapter on the body and sleep, then fix your sleep before anything spiritual.
Our verdict
Honest about dryness.
