Strahan Coleman’s latest book addresses the issue of human longing in a new and beautiful way, says Emma Fowle. If you are thirsty for more of God’s presence, this book is a welcome repast
We are all longing for something. And, often, we look in all the wrong places to satisfy that need. The basic premise of Strahan Coleman’s latest book is not a new Christian thought. But in Thirsting: Quenching our soul’s deepest desire (David C Cook) Coleman addresses the idea of human desire – and its root in God’s unquenchable desire for us – in a new and beautiful way.
Rooted in his own story of suffering – spiritual abuse, chronic illness and the loss of a music career to name just a few of the difficult situations that Coleman has walked through – the book explores how we can turn our desires towards God and find fulfilment in the only one who can truly satisfy.
