Amy DiMarcangelo: A Hunger for More

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.” 

An Invitation to Pray

Praying specific can become an exciting adventure and partnership with God– truly seeking to pray the heart, mind and will of the Father!

Expect to Be Different

Avoiding interaction with the world will ensure not only that the world dies but that your church will too. This is the way salt works: it is either used proactively or it becomes destructive to the one who has it.

The Strengths of Smaller Healthy Churches

Small churches can create a family environment for disconnected people if they lean into the built-in intimacy they already have.
