Help for the Hungry Soul

Kristen Wetherell's Help for the Hungry Soul is a must-read for every Christian. The ever-growing list of commitments, responsibilities, distractions, and often lackadaisical attitude about what we know is important but ignore due to exhaustion harms both our physical and spiritual well-being. This leads us to pursue things in life that do not truly satisfy us. Our souls hunger for one thing, which is feasting on God's Word, spending daily time with our Lord, and listening to what He has to say to us. We find excuses to neglect spending time with God in our craziness. We are taken on a wonderful journey through how we can ignite our hunger and desire for God in Help for the Hungry Soul.

A total of eight chaper's are included in this book. They include:

1. Know Your Hungry Heart

2. Plead for a Holy Hunger

3. Don't Miss Jesus

4. Remember the Privilege

5. Feast with Your Church

6. Feed Yourself Creatively

7. Trust God's Nourishing Work

8. Embrace Your Hunger

Each chapter begins with a topical mini-lesson. There are main topics and subtopics in all chapters. Throughout the chapters, Scripture references are frequently used. There is an activity at the end of every chapter that corresponds to the topic of the chapter. These activities are thought-provoking and definitely take time. Following that, a personal testimony is presented. There are two Bible verses, a quote from a Biblical scholar at the end of this chapter.

I highly recommend Kristen's book. My first reading was just to get a feel for what the book was about. In reading the book through a second time, I plan to highlight, take notes in the book, meditate on God's Word, and work slowly through it. This book would make a wonderful summer devotional. This is a book you should purchase.
