Synopses & Reviews
Speaker and author Marilyn Meberg tackles the subject of why humans crave, walking readers through the reasons and offering some ways for them to understand and deal with it.
We all crave more-more romance, more money, more fun, more peace, more time, more meaning, more purpose, more, more, more. We go through life with a thirst that is unquenchable. Since in this life we can never experience the thirst that is fully quenched, we instead continue to follow our cravings in an effort to find some kind of satisfaction. But that is not to be here on earth. It's there in heaven.
In Constantly Craving, Marilyn discusses our various cravings and offers understanding about why they exist-and how to better manage them. She approaches the subject with the wisdom coming from a long and successful career that has included a professional counseling practice, teaching college English, and leading women's Bible studies. She has put this all together in a book that will answer the reader's question-Will I ever stop my craving for more?
After completing this book, readers will understand:
- Cravings do not mean we are shallow or lacking in faith.
- Cravings can be tamed.
- God is using cravings to bring us to him.
- Heaven is worth the wait
Synopsis
We want more. More peace. More excitement. More romance. More free time. More chocolate . . .
Our cravings are written into our DNA. They're influenced by our childhood experiences. They're driving the choices we make as adults. And often, they're keeping us hungry. Never satisfied. Ever searching.
What do they mean? What are we to do with them? Should we feel guilty? Are there solutions?
Counselor and author Marilyn Meberg knows all about cravings. She also knows the One who knit us together, desires and all. With wit and compassion, Marilyn helps us understand our appetites, offers advice for managing them here on earth, and encourages us to eagerly await the day when we will find total satisfaction in heaven.
In the meantime, Constantly Craving is an excellent reminder that our desires for more can lead us to the One we really need, the only One who will quench our thirst forever. Really? Really
