'Every human being has inside them a thirst, given by God, which only God can slake. We do not always identify it correctly, but this thirst, which lies deeper in us than anything we can imagine, is there,' writes Nicholas King.

This theme of thirst is explored and developed in seven studies comprising:

• Prayers
• Reflections and thoughtful commentary
• Moving anecdotes from the author's or others' lives
• Texts from the New Testament
• Footnotes to encourage us to look at the Scripture more closely
• Questions to stimulate group discussion or individual reflection

The author has translated the verses afresh, keeping close to the original Greek and preserving idiomatic peculiarities in order to bring out their raw power and provide us with a new understanding of familiar passages. An excellent course for groups or individuals alike, this book will inspire and challenge readers to recognise and engage with their own thirst and to deepen their prayer and relationship with God, who alone can truly quench it.
