What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“I pulled this book off of my husband’s library shelf one day in a desperate search for something to renew and restore my soul. I was in a bone-dry spiritual wasteland, and all of my attempts to feel better were useless. I devoured Gary’s words and found myself intimately connected with fellow brothers and sisters through the ages who struggled with loneliness, emptiness, and doubt—but whose thirsty souls were satisfied in communion with God and with each other. This has become my go-to book for spiritual encouragement.”
—Kay Warren

“Thirsting for God is without question one of the finest books on the Christian journey I have read. Once again Gary Thomas provides believers with penetrating insights for a deeper life. Definitely a book to savor, mark up, and return to again and again.”
—Dr. Ed Young, Senior Pastor, Second Baptist Church, Houston, Texas

“For anyone who doesn't just want to know about God, but actually know God, Gary has written a wonderful guide. What a helpful companion for the journey!”
—John Ortberg, author of The Life You’ve Always Wanted
