How Our Hunger Leads Us Closer to Jesus

Many Christians—especially those who have grown up in the church—seem to have “good” lives, free from extreme hardship and scandalous sin. Yet even this good life leaves them longing. Regardless of our backgrounds and circumstances, all of us have a deep hunger that only Jesus can satisfy. 

In this book, Amy DiMarcangelo invites readers to feast at the table of grace, where they will find God’s vast glory and intimate care, his strength made perfect in weakness, and his gifts of joy and comfort. Even the most hungry Christians will be encouraged that they “may be filled with all the fullness of God” (Ephesians 3:19).

  • Encouragement for Christian Women: Written to help both new and mature Christians embrace their need for Christ and find satisfaction in him alone
  • Biblical: Unfolds the unsearchable glories of God through his word
  • Discussion Questions and Recommended Books: Provides an opportunity for group study and further reflection

A Hunger for More invites us to stare down our desires and find our God sufficient to satisfy. Amy DiMarcangelo identifies—with wisdom and humility—the cravings that tempt our hearts, then entices us with the rich offerings found in our God. In each chapter her words serve to turn the diamond of the beauty of his character and promises. I found myself pausing my reading to stop and worship. A Hunger for More will confront your empty desires and offer the sweet satisfaction of being filled to all the fullness of God.”
