Publisher's Description

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. But for the Christian, the hunger for anything besides God can be an arch-enemy. While our hunger for God--and Him alone--is the only thing that will bring victory.

Do you have that hunger for Him? As John Piper puts it: "If we don't feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God, it is not because you have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It is because we have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Our soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great." If we are full of what the world offers, then perhaps a fast might express, or even increase, our soul's appetite for God.

Between the dangers of self-denial and self-indulgence is this path of pleasant pain called fasting. It is the path John Piper invites you to travel in this book. For when God is the supreme hunger of your heart, He will be supreme in everything. And when you are most satisfied in Him, He will be most glorified in you.

A Hunger for God: Desiring God through Fasting and Prayer - eBook 4.4 5 9 9

Exelent purchase! A must read for all lesders and christian groups.Great for group studies and especially for all those called to ministries. August 27, 2011

I was told this book was most helpful for losing weight. My wife and I are going through a weight loss course, a bible based program. This book is recommended reading, I bought 2 copies so we didn't have to share the book. My wife gave up and stopped reading her copy I am continuing to read the book. There is so much detail and repetition and a very boring read it is not blessing me yet and I am 1/3 way through. December 24, 2009

This is one of the best treatments of the subject of fasting for the times in which we live. Piper's style is readable, if a bit wordy. It is not necessarily an easy book to read since for me, there was conviction on almost every page. As most of us know, truly beneficial conviction is sometimes difficult to hear. The service from Christianbook.com was superb as always. February 21, 2009

I ordered this book, "A Hunger For God" by Don Piper, because it was recommended by a Bible study course I am taking. I found the book very helpful and informative. If you want to know more about fasting as it relates to Scripture and the teachings of Jesus Christ, I highly recommend this book. July 24, 2008
