People yearn for many things, but only Jesus Christ can satisfy the deepest cravings of the human heart. Many individuals, however, have settled for a cultural Christianity and lost their vibrant, day-by-day relationship with Him. This collection of short, real-life stories from an exciting young author reveals that life with God can be a surprising, challenging, and richly satisfying journey. Readers of Donald Miller and Anne Lamott will love these vignettes of people who...

talk to strangers about God--and find out why sharing their faith can actually be enjoyable
answer their calls--and delight in godly obedience
floss every day--and discover the rewards of daily prayer

Sometimes humorous, occasionally tender, and always thought-provoking, these slices of life connect with 20- and 30-somethings who crave a deeper level of intimacy with God.

From the Author:

There's a certain feeling writers have about their first book, or so I assume because I have this feeling. There's the sense I will never again write another book, because all has been said, and because writing doesn't get any better than this. And there's another sense of discomfort that this book is in print, because people will realize writing does get better than this, and there's far more to say than the simple words I've written.

Even so, Crave represents a season in my life that all Christians must go through. At its core, it's a story of desire, of wanting so much more of God, and the struggle that ensues with God, purpose, faith, and setbacks. For years, I sensed there was more to my faith than I knew or had experienced, and I wanted more, but I didn't know how to go about getting it. So I dove into church, and study, and service, and evangelism, and spiritual disciplines, and I ended up a burned-out Christian.

I didn't yet know the source, or the purpose, of our cravings. But God was content to write one chapter in my life at a time. And as he put the finishing touches on this season of my life, I came to see something about my cravings I hadn't seen before. Something simple. Something profound. Which has just started an entirely new story. Join with me in this journey and find how your own pages will be written.

From the Back Cover:

There's so much more to life and faith than this. And we know it.

We all crave something, either something that will last forever or something that will vanish soon. Many people chase their cravings into sex, money, work, service, or religion without every realizing none of these will satisfy. But others of us are beginning to see our cravings were made for one purpose and one purpose alone.

So what do you crave?
