Based on Matthew 13:44, this little book explains the treasure in the field parable about the Kingdom of Heaven - what it costs and what benefits come through obtaining it. The chapters are six selections from "What Jesus Demands from the World" by John Piper: (1) Coming to Jesus is Not Easy; (2) Following Jesus is a Hard Road; (3) The Road is Hard But it is Not Joyless; (4) Strive to Enter the Narrow Door; (5) Without Jesus Our Striving Would Be Losing; and (6) Our Joy in Jesus Sustains Our Striving.
