This episode of Life and Books and Everything is brought to you by Crossway, publisher of the sing hymnal.

This is being put out by Crossway and compiled by Keith and Kristen Getty,

who have pulled together a collection of nearly 500 hymns that you can use in your home alongside the family Bible.

Others may want to use it in corporate worship.

There are classic and contemporary hymns, liturgical readings

plus psalms paired with popular hymns. There's some stories about hymns and prayers. And as you

would expect from Crossway, it is very elegantly and beautifully designed.

So I do not yet have a copy in my hands, and I am eager to have one and to use it and to look at it.

I've seen some PDF versions, and I'm very excited for this book.

So pick up a copy of the Sing Himnal, wherever books are sold, or learn more at

singhymnal.com. We also want to thank our friends at Desiring God for supporting the podcast.

DG. is celebrating the relaunch of the book that started it all, Desiring God by John Piper,

of course.

Originally published nearly 40 years ago, the book is relaunching this September as a revised edition through Crossway.

This is the book where Piper explores the ultimate source of pleasure, satisfaction, lasting joy in Christ.

Summed up in those famous words, God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him.

If you've read the book before, you'll want to still check out this new edition from Crossway, this revised edition.

And if you haven't, or you've tried it before, and it seemed maybe slightly over your head,

now is a great time to try again. It really is worth diving into classic.

If you can have a book called a classic by someone who is still with us, I think this deserves that title.

To supplement the book launch, the team at DG has created a free content journey called Desiring God in the Dark,

which explores the topic of joy through suffering.
