James Houston helps us trace the consequences of pursuing things that can never satisfy. He awakens in our hearts the true desire for an authentic relationship with God that alone can fulfill our soul's hunger.
Every page of "The Heart's Desire" offers wisdom. In the first half, James Houston identifies the falsity of the modern, irreligious condition and in the second he guides readers to a deeper understanding of God, taking into account not just our intellect but our emotions as well. Along the way he uses a variety of thinkers, writers and stories to help illustrate his points.
