Thirsting

Quenching Our Soul's Deepest Desire

De: Strahan Coleman

Narrado por: Strahan Coleman

What if the longing we feel is a sign of God’s longing for us? Thirsting is a deeply spiritual exploration of a life-changing truth: only when we learn to live in the ache of our thirst instead of running from it will we know the joy of receiving God in every part of our lives.

We may be able to imagine God saving us, using us, and even loving us—but wanting us? Pursuing us? Longing for us? And yet, as spiritual director Strahan Coleman teaches, God’s greatest desire is to commune with us in the depths of our souls.

In Thirsting, Strahan eloquently guides us to:

• Acknowledge the God-given thirst within us so we can offer it to God in all its depth
• Learn to open up our pain to God so we can experience Him in the midst of our aching
• Allow God’s desire for us to open up a whole new experience of communion

You thirst because you are thirsted for. Take a rich, vulnerable journey toward an inner knowing with God as you step over shame, receive His love, and drink Him deeply. The very journey you were made for.

Features bonus author commentary exclusive to the audiobook.

Captivating

Strahan had me at my first breath. I couldn’t recommend it enough. It rekindled my first love and I long for the day to be at one with the beloved.

INCREDIBLE

Wish I could afford to buy this book for anyone interested and everyone I want to! Best book I read in in 2024, and one that will shape my life forever!

Helpful & healing

Read this book if you long to know God more. I think this may be especially helpful to those who have struggled snd suffered in Pentecostal and hyper-charismatic cultures.

Pursuing Spiritual Intimacy

Strahan (the author) narrates well with a beautiful voice. As a bonus to the listener, he vulnerably comments on the content and how it came to be. A God-chaser continually in need of help, he is someone I want to listen to often, and find to be a good model and mentor in my own pursuit of intimacy with the God who seeks intimacy with us. I want to listen again to this wonderful book (as well as his Beholding book.)

Speaks to the soul

Strahan’s book couldn’t have come at a better time. As I’ve been wrestling with the ache that we all have for several weeks now, here comes this book to help offer language for my experiences that I haven’t been able to put words to. A true gift for those who thirst, and those who thirst to thirst for more of God. On a lighter note, I bought this audiobook along with a physical copy just to hear him read. What a voice.

All things good and pure (and real!)

Strahan writes in such an approachable way that cuts right to the soul. I’m not sure why God put this book on my soul when it was announced, but I preordered it and my wife stole it from my desk before I got further than the forward. On Audible, she can’t bend and steal my pages, can she?? Somehow this was exactly what we both needed at different phases of our journeys today.
