SynopsisThere is an appetite for God. And it can be awakened. I invite you to turn from the dulling effects of food and the dangers of idolatry, and to say with some simple fast: "This much, O God, I want you." Our appetites dictate the direction of our lives--whether it be the cravings of our stomachs, the passionate desire for possessions or power, or the longings of our spirits for God. But for the Christian, the hunger for anything besides God can be an arch-enemy. While our hunger for God--and Him alone--is the only thing that will bring victory. Do you have that hunger for Him? As John Piper puts it: "If we don't feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God, it is not because you have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It is because we have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Our soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great." If we are full of what the world offers, then perhaps a fast might express, or even increase, our soul's appetite for God. Between the dangers of self-denial and self-indulgence is this path of pleasant pain called fasting. It is the path John Piper invites you to travel in this book. For when God is the supreme hunger of your heart, He will be supreme in everything. And when you are most satisfied in Him, He will be most glorified in you., This book invites readers to turn from the dulling effects of food and other appetites and to express through the biblical practice of fasting their desire for God., There is an appetite for God.

ARE YOU HUNGRY?
John Pieper presents a methodical approach in an easy to read fashion that summarizes what mystics have declared for nearly 2000 years: Less is more! The way up is down... Saint Augustine famously said (Confessions) that only when we rest in Him can we truly find our rest and Pieper leads us along that path through fasting and prayer. Hungry souls will be filled after reading this neoclassic.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Desiring God
The title says it all. This book opens up your mind in ways others has not when it comes to really seeking God to fill that deep desire for him, to know him, to understand his ways and just focus on him. This book will give you a new balanced perspective on fasting and doing it the right way..... I highly recommend it!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
