Soul's Quest for God, The : Satisfying the hunger for spiritual communion with God
Outline : "OUR HEARTS FIND NO REST UNTIL THEY FIND THEIR REST IN THEE." St. Augustine
To love God is to know him. To know him we must feed upon his Word, call upon his Spirit for guidance, pick up the cross daily. Only when the race is finished will we see him as he is. In his engaging and anecdotal style, R. C. Sproul explores the dynamics of a person's longing for communion and intimacy with God, drawing insight from the lives of biblical heroes as well as from the writings of history's great theologians. The Soul's Quest for God is applied theology for all Christians who ask the tough questions, who are honestly examining their soul, and who long for a deeper life with God.
Something is missing. It is missing from the life of the church. It is absent from the normal Christian life. What is missing is a depth of spiritual communion with God. In The Soul's Quest for God, theologian R. C. Sproul begins with the words of Augustine - "O Lord ... our hearts are restless until they find their rest in thee" - and guides our search for a closer life with him. With help from some of the spiritual giants of church history, Sproul examines the nature of the soul, its longing for intimacy with God, and how it is nurtured. He writes about barriers to our soul's quest for communion with God, especially those that stand between us and assurance of our salvation. Ultimately, the author examines the ultimate destination of the soul, the hope of seeing God. The Soul's Quest for God is for all who desire to deepen their Christian walk, for those who struggle with doubts about their relationship with God, and for people who long for closer intimacy with him.
