Made for His Pleasure: Ten Benchmarks of a Vital Faith - Paperback

by Alistair Begg (Author), John MacArthur (Foreword by), R. C. Sproul (Foreword by)

Are you living for God's pleasure or for your own?

Pleasing God is not a matter of personal choice, but an imperative that must be taken seriously. In a world of self, we must give way to the priority of God if we want to experience His joy.

In this popular book, Alistair identifies ten benchmarks from Scripture that will prove invaluable as you seek to live a life that is pleasing to God. His clear, personal message will challenge and revitalize your faith.

Spiritual fitness is not a series of straight, 100-yard sprints. Rather, it's a lifelong cross-country run of endurance and perseverance. The life that is truly fulfilling gives back to God the talents and abilities He has given us to be used for His glory.

"Alistair compels us clearly and biblically to know the joy of pleasing God in our relationships, successes and failures, and other strategic aspects of our lives." -- Joseph M. Stowell
