I did something rare this evening: I started - and finished - a non-fiction book. Crave, by Chris Tomlinson - no, not Chris Tomlin - he's the singer - Chris Tomlinson. (Don't know if he can sing, but he writes well...)

This book is about wanting more of God. Craving Him more than we crave the other things in life. Chris writes in a very easy to read and often humorous style. I found myself smiling and even laughing out loud a couple of times. He addresses everything from waiting on God to witnessing to what we allow into our lives by way of our eyes - which was a great chapter, though I had to say "ouch!"

I enjoyed the book immensely, but was also challenged and convicted by it. God so often takes a back seat to everything else, and though reading a book like this isn't a quick fix, Chris really nails it in this book, and any book that can convict and challenge as this book does, is definitely worth reading.

And though the book description says "these slices of life connect with 20- and 30-somethings who crave a deeper level of intimacy with God", this 40-year old guy really enjoyed the book. :-)
