A Hunger for More

Crossway, 2022

By Amy DiMarcangelo

WHO: Amy DiMarcangelo, a regular contributor at the Gospel Coalition. 

SHE SAYS: “God doesn’t want us to be satisfied with moderate portions of him.”

THE BIG IDEA: Spiritual hunger leads one closer to Jesus.

THE PROGRESSION: In 10 chapters, the author encourages readers who are longing for a deeper passion for God or those new to the faith to go deeper with God.

“Each time our hunger for hope or joy or peace or purpose sends us to God, we will taste and see that he is good.”
