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

This book is often all over the place and I think that’s the most beautiful part. It touches our deepest longings for God from every angle and facet and beckons you come and drink. Let your unsatisfied yearning for God be a sign of His presence not His absence.

“Because vines, branches, and gardens don’t operate on productivity. They live by the rule of fruitfulness. They’re not in control, they’re at the mercy of the sun, moon, and wind. Vines don’t produce fruit all year round at a steady pace, they’re pruned and shaped. Death and waiting are a natural part of their fruiting year on year…its fruitfulness, not productivity, that is the primary criterion of love and spiritual growth in the New Testament.
