In A Hunger for GOD, John Piper invites us to sharpen our appetite for God by drawing closer to him through simple fasting with accompanying prayer.
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.
