Kalin Pike's Reviews > Thirsting: Quenching Our Soul’s Deepest Desire

Strahan Coleman has continually offered language to the longings and movements of God in my heart, and Thirsting is no exception. Thirsting puts words to our human aching, our deep desire, our pain, and the Loving God whose presence we find there, inviting us to say “yes” to His invitation to go deeper with Him.

I felt so seen, known, cared for, and encouraged by the words of this book. Strahan shares deep truth, so clearly embodied first in his own journey, as if he’s sitting with you over a warm cup of coffee in his home. His humility makes this read all the more moving.

The most beautiful part of this book, however, is the hope that Strahan’s words have rebuilt within my heart—hope that I’m safe to trust God with my deepest longings, hope that His presence is truly in my thirsting and desire, and hope that there are others experiencing the pain and longing that comes from moving more deeply into communion with God.

What a gift this book is to our generation. An invitation to explore our deepest longings with the One who longs for us. Thank you, Strahan, for sharing your communion with God with us in the pages of this book. Words cannot contain the gratitude.
