The Desire: Satisfying the Heart

by James M. Houston

Desire is the throbbing pulse of human life. What we long for determines the scope of our experiences, the depth of our insights, the standards by which we judge, and the responsibility with which we choose our values. One of the greatest Christian thinkers and writers on spiritual formation today, Dr. James Houston thoughtfully examines what is at the core of every human a longing for intimacy with God.

Love Houston's work but ran out of steam on this one. Interesting premise but found other more engaging works to dig into.
