- Notes
- The 2011 revised paperback of the book Piper first published in 1986, with a study guide bound in. Open Library files three ISBNs under one record for this year -- 9781601423092 is the 411-page hardcover 25th Anniversary Reference Edition, this one the 368-page revised paperback -- and they are not the same book. Its thesis, that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him, is the one Piper spent the rest of his career restating.
