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.

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.

Occasionally a book comes along that doesn’t just challenge you but changes you - Hunger is that book!

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.

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.

If you have ever said to yourself "there must be more" to following Christ? Then this book is for you. If you've ever had an unexplainable hunger for God, and have sensed that there is a realm in God that appears out of reach? Then this book is for you. Brian and Doreen's story will open your eyes to the possibilities that God made available to every believer. I

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...

Emily Scott never planned on becoming a pastor. But when she started a church for misfits that met over dinner in Brooklyn, she discovered an unlikely calling—and an antidote to modern loneliness. “I absolutely devoured this exquisitely written memoir.”—Nadia Bolz-Weber, New...

You won't hear these stories in the local news, but Jesus Christ is doing miracles in some of the most unlikely places around the world. His faith propelled Dois Rosser out of the boardroom and into villages in Mongolia, India, Congo, Cuba, and dozens of other needy nations to invest his earthly fortune in building churches and broadcasting the gospel.

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.”...
