This book was provided to me free of charge by the publisher (Harvest House) for the purpose of review. I also was generously given an extra copy of this book to give away. Please just leave a comment as to why you could use this book to be entered. I will pick a winner on Sunday.

What do you crave? When I think of that question immediately the answer that comes to my mind is chocolate. Yikes! Is that a problem? Really at the core of my heart the thing that I do crave is God. But why is it that chocolate comes up first when I am answering this honestly?

Well, if you are like me and desire to crave more of God. Better said, crave God more than any other thing--yes even when you are in one of those "give me chocolate or someone dies stages." Then this book "Crave" by Chris Tomlinson will be a great read for you.

I really liked how this book seemed to have a progressing pattern of the authors real life journey with wanting so much more of God. It is a very authentic and honest writing. It is something that most people can easily relate to on joining in on the journey. Chris, is a great story teller and uses great examples chapter after chapter to get the points across that he is discussing with the reader. Better yet, he is rock solid in his theology of the matter.

I really liked this book and would recommend it to anyone who is really desiring more of God. So, if you are not satisfied in your walk with the Lord, then pick this up and read it. Alongside your Bible of course! :)

Oh oh - is it Sunday - choose me choose me lol the reason why because He's British of course.He is British right? lol

Craving is something that I am relearning at the moment - it's been quite the season - but I had a great thought the other day (they do come believe it or not) I've started drinking more water - it's a health thing. I don;t enjoy the thoughts of drinking water - I'd rather be drinking a hot chai tea or a deep caffeinate coffee - but I started with the water thing. The crazy thing is that the more you drink it the more you want it - so much so that I'll pass up on my mid morning tea now for a glass of water!

I'm learning that with the Word too - I'm learning that the more I am in it - the more I want to be in it. I have been in this place before of being all consumed by it and there is no greater high - it's just been in recent years that I have let my desire slide - but I'm digging in again and desiring to crave it once more.

Love you Angela Parsley and I'm not just saying that cos I want the book lol - have a great day friend x
