Dangerous Duty of Delight Study Guide

For a long time, I’ve been trying to come up with ways to help small group members and people I know to grasp the idea of Christian hedonism (or delight in God, or religious affections, or Augustinianism, or rejoicing in the Lord). It’s not always an intuitive concept, and unfortunately Desiring God is a little too long and in-depth for many people to benefit from.

However, The Dangerous Duty of Delight is an ultra-condensed version of Desiring God that’s much more accessible. I’ve put together the following study guide to help individuals, small group leaders, and small group members process the book. Whereas some study guides emphasize subjective opinion, rote repetition, or mere information, this guide is designed with the following goals:

  1. Emphasize the scriptural texts cited, encouraging readers to interact with them.
  2. Emphasize the logical arguments of the author, encouraging readers to grasp the logic and decide whether they agree.
  3. Lead the reader to practical application, both in terms of large-scale prayers and immediate action steps.

Please check it out and let me know if you have any feedback!
