Hungry for God: Hearing God's Voice in the Ordinary and the Everyday [Paperback]

Margaret Feinberg (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 17, 2011

In your heart you feel the longing---an emptiness that can't be satisfied by food, or friendships, or entertainment, or success, or anything this world can offer. Only God can fill the void. More than you know, you hunger for God. In Hungry for God, critically acclaimed author Margaret Feinberg puts you in touch with your desire for intimacy with your Creator and what it takes to find fulfillment. Feinberg writes, 'The sound of his voice is spiritual nourishment, his voice a banquet for my soul---every syllable a tasty morsel, every expression flavored with love.' With rare insight into the Scriptures, human nature, and the heart of God, Feinberg invites you to discover the ways in which God speaks to you not from the top of some holy mountain, but in the midst of your everyday affairs. Learning to hear God's voice isn't as much a destination as it is a journey, and if you travel far enough, you'll find yourself abiding in the presence of God. Passionate, honest, and filled with wisdom and inspiration, Hungry for God will help you cultivate the holy intimacy your spirit craves.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Margaret Feinberg is a prophetic voice to our generation. This book will pierce your soul and create a renewed hunger to seek God." ----Mark Batterson, pastor of National Community Church and author of In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day

"Margaret challenges and reminds us of what it truly means to long for God and to really know him. As leaders, we need to be reminded of this, and Margaret hits the target. She's one of the authentic and vital voices for our generation." ----Brad Lomenick, executive director of Catalyst

"Margaret Feinberg's Hungry for God will help you hear God's voice in your everyday life. It is wonderfully prayerful and practical, touching on subjects such as the importance of quality `kairos' moments with God and the diversity of the languages in which he may choose to speak to us. Margaret's usual engaging style combines personal stories with biblical truths and gives practical steps in learning to hear the Father's still, small voice in all its many guises. I recommend this book wholeheartedly to anyone seeking to develop and maintain a healthy spiritual appetite." ----Pete Greig, director of prayer for Alpha International, cofounder of 24-7 Prayer, and author of Red Moon Rising and God on Mute

"Reading Hungry for God is a celebration--engaging my soul and spirit to God's heart through powerfully deep and challenging words from my new friend, Margaret. For you, the reader, this could be an embracing of daily moments, listening to and hearing `the whisper of God.'" ----Esther Burroughs, author, speaker, and founder of Treasures of the Heart Ministry

"Once again, in Margaret Feinberg-style, we see a refreshing look at recognizing God's voice in our everyday life. And we are challenged to act on what we hear. Thank you, Margaret, for your own hunger for God and for sharing your journey with us. You always make us hungrier for him as well!" ----Chris Adams, senior lead women's ministry specialist

"With the candor of a child and the vision of an artist, Margaret Feinberg paints fresh pictures, opening windows so that I can better see, taste, and know the Lover of my soul." ----Dee Brestin, author of The God of All Comfort

"In Hungry for God, Margaret Feinberg whets our appetites for the full feast God has prepared for us. Pull up a chair, pick up a fork and dive in!" ----Elisa Morgan, president of Mission: Momentum and author of She Did What She Could
