Hunger for God

"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 shape our lives, but John Piper argues that many believers have become spiritually satisfied with worldly pleasures rather than cultivating a genuine hunger for God's glory -- and for Christians, desiring anything more than God becomes spiritually dangerous. In A Hunger for God, Piper presents fasting as a spiritual discipline situated between excessive self-denial and self-indulgence, inviting readers to use fasting as a tool to deepen their appetite for God and strengthen their spiritual priorities. His core message: when God becomes your supreme desire, he will be honored supremely in your life.
