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

In Thirsting, Strahan offers a holy embodied pathway for how to live as God’s creatures who deeply thirst and desire. The answers that we are given in our day and age for what to do with all our longings and desires are loud and pervasive, but they’re always hollow and leave us empty. Strahan speaks to all the forces in our world at work against us that are both trying to convince us that we should let our desires entirely rule us or that we should just kill desire altogether. Through his focus on the self-giving love of the Trinity and the Spousal love of God, Strahan takes us on a journey of discovering that all of our deepest thirsts ultimately lead us back to our dearest Love, who thirsts with all of His heart for our hearts. If you want to understand and be at peace with the vast beauty of your God-given longings, thirsts, and desires, I highly recommend this book. And if you want to better understand and truly experience the wild love of God for you, don’t hesitate to read this. Strahan is one of the most trustworthy voices and authors I’ve read from. I would highly recommend anything he’s written because he’s suffered deeply and offers beautiful fruits of deep wisdom born out of immense pain— his words are a truly treasure, like gold that’s been refined through fire. Don’t hesitate to read Thirsting!
