About this listen

There is an appetite for God. And it can be awakened. I invite you to turn from the dulling effects of food and the dangers of idolatry, and to say with some simple fast: "This much, O God, I want you."Our appetites dictate the direction of our lives - whether it be the cravings of our stomachs, the passionate desire for possessions or power, or the longings of our spirits for God.

But for the Christian, the hunger for anything besides God can be an arch-enemy. While our hunger for God - and Him alone - is the only thing that will bring victory. Do you have that hunger for Him?

If we are full of what the world offers, then perhaps a fast might express, or even increase, our soul's appetite for God. Between the dangers of self-denial and self-indulgence is this path of pleasant pain called fasting. It is the path John Piper invites you to travel in this book. For when God is the supreme hunger of your heart, He will be supreme in everything. And when you are most satisfied in Him, He will be most glorified in you.

This is the best book on fasting and one of the best books on prayer that I have ever read. I highly recommend this book. Piper does a fantastic job showing, from the Scriptures, how humans are called to use everything at their disposal to hunger after God. Fasting is not deprivation, but is instead one of the greatest means God uses to fill us with himself.

A clear and compelling sermon to stir us and usher us to the terms of our only hope, trusting in God alone and his tools.

Great concepts and understanding of fasting and prayer when linked with the hunger for God. Fantastic read, especially for Lenten season. Helped deepen understanding of why Christian fasting at all and what is being done by fasting.

With fasting being such a neglected subject in the modern church, Piper does a wonderful job of practically relaying what the Bible teaches about this spiritual disciple. For anyone curious about delving into this lost art of the Christian faith, this book is a must read!

Well written and well read. John does a great job explaining the fundamental details of a topic that is typically radicalized or totally avoided.

Well Done

As usual John Piper keeps his focus on the Word of God rather than his own opinion. Worth the time.

Great book on Fasting!
