About this book
What if the longing we feel is a sign of God’s longing for us? Thirsting is a deeply spiritual exploration of a life-changing truth: only when we learn to live in the ache of our thirst instead of running from it will we know the joy of receiving God in every part of our lives.
 
We may be able to imagine God saving us, using us, and even loving us—but wanting us? Pursuing us? Longing for us? And yet, as spiritual director Strahan Coleman teaches, God’s greatest desire is to commune with us in the depths of our souls.
 
In Thirsting, Strahan eloquently guides us to:
 
- Acknowledge the God-given thirst within us so we can offer it to God in all its depth
- Learn to open up our pain to God so we can experience Him in the midst of our aching
- Allow God’s desire for us to open up a whole new experience of communion
 
You thirst because you are thirsted for. Take a rich, vulnerable journey toward an inner knowing with God as you step over shame, receive His love, and drink Him deeply. The very journey you were made for.
