There 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.

Fatherlessness is a “rot that is eating away at the modern soul,” writes Douglas Wilson, and the problem goes far beyond physical absence. “Most of our families are starving for fathers, even if Dad is around, and there’s a huge cost to our children and our society because of it.”...

Occasionally a book comes along that doesn’t just challenge you but changes you - Hunger is that book! A riveting collection of heavenly encounters, you cannot be the same person who started it when you finish it. And though we thankfully have access to a precious surplus of Christian resources available to us, they are but a means to draw near to the Lord. Our most urgent need continues to be actual encounters with the living God. Hunger not only chronicles the encounters men of God have had with him throughout church history; it is itself a heavenly encounter.

Author and revival historian Jennifer Miskov has tapped into an ancient pathway to divine encounter. She has given her life to studying how the greater pioneers of revival experienced dynamic moves of the Holy Spirit, both in their personal lives and in the corporate church. Historically, fasting was never a formula for holiness or a means to manipulate God. In fact, in revival history, “the fasting ones” were actually “the feasting ones”—those who single-mindedly aligned themselves with what heaven wanted to release into Earth.

Many Christians—especially those who have grown up in the church—seem to have "good" lives, free from extreme hardship and scandalous sin. Yet even this good life leaves them longing. Regardless of our backgrounds and circumstances, all of us have a deep hunger that only Jesus can satisfy. In this audiobook, Amy DiMarcangelo invites listeners to feast at the table of grace, where they will find God's vast glory and intimate care, his strength made perfect in weakness, and his gifts of joy and comfort.

Nos envies orientent tout ce que nous vivons au quotidien, que ce soit lappétit de notre estomac pour de la bonne nourriture, notre soif de pouvoir et de possession ou encore le désir profond de notre 'me dexpérimenter Dieu. Pour le chrétien, avoir faim de toute autre chose que de Dieu lui-même est ultimement néfaste à une bonne santé spirituelle et une joie profonde.

Homosexuality, prostitution, pornography, cults--secret sins rival the glitter of Hollywood for young actor David Kyle Foster. Winning wholesome television roles, his star on the rise, he is relieved to be free from his father's harshness. But the desperate loneliness and sexual obsession that characterized his youth now accompany his rise to success and bondage to a double life seems the only answer. Can Jesus' love reach one so broken?

We all have a desperate need for God--not just for following him or being committed to him, but to be intimately connected to him. We long for purpose, for affirmation, for attention, for nurture. But Gari Meacham writes that we fall short of being desperate for God, or we miss the longed-for...

Our spiritual lives are deeply connected to bread—the bread we break with family and friends and the Bread that is Christ's Body, given and broken for us. It's easy to choose the cheapest, most convenient option, but the life of Jesus and the story of Scripture, as well as the substance of bread itself, shows us that there is more. In By Bread Alone, Kendall Vanderslice, a professional baker and practical theologian who spends her days elbow-deep in dough, reveals that there is no food more spiritually significant than bread—whether eating, baking, sharing, or breaking.

“Why can’t we connect?” It’s a question many foster and adoptive parents, like myself, have asked about attempting to build a relationship with a child God has placed into our homes. What is it that keeps them from being open and receptive to your care? Could you sum it up in one word? You may choose words like trauma, detachment, defiance, or dysregulation, but I’d like to suggest a more helpful word: hunger. This is Chef Kibby inviting you to join me for the Hunger for Connection Podcast. In each episode, I’ll be weaving together pioneering research, personal experiences, and ...

If Jesus called himself the "bread of life," why is it that our relationship with food is so complicated? We love it. We hate it. We hate that we love it. Whether we're obsessing over what not to consume - carbs, sugar, alcohol - or what we will devour - fat free, dairy free, gluten free - food has become burdensome. Christian Book Award winner Tilly Dillehay tackles the way we approach food. In Broken Bread, Dillehay identifies the four major food sins and the fears that drive them, and she offers a new way of thinking about food less to focus on more important matters.

Too often the world speaks words of harm, and too often we believe them--and so we live stories God never intended for us. Yet God longs to rewrite and redeem your story. Tiffini Kilgore, founder of the lifestyle and design boutique House of Belonging, grew up in a broken home before marrying at...
