"If we don't feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God, it is not because we have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It is because we have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Our soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great."
 

The above quote is from John Piper's book, "A Hunger for God". The book's subtitle is "Desiring God Through Fasting and Prayer", and that is precisely what the book goes about trying to show us how to do.

 
I loved this book because it is grounded upon the Bible and is full of biblical truth. It is also for this reason that book is so convicting! If you are like me, prayer and fasting are two of the most difficult "duties" of the Christian life. This should not be. In fact, Piper shows us in this book how these duties should rather be for us "delights" as we lovingly and gratefully commune with our Creator, Redeemer, and Lord.
 
Here's the link to the book at the Desiring God Ministry website, where you can either purchase the book or download it for FREE in pdf format.
