Come Thirsty

We are reading the book Come Thirsty by Max Lucado, and many are involved in small groups discussing the book.

We all know what it is like to be thirsty – both physically and spiritually. That longing to quench your dry mouth can be powerful. But a dry heart – that’s unbearable. You need refreshment, and you need it now. If your heart has become a little crusty, if your spirit is dry, if your heart is parched, you’ve come to the right place. In the pages of this book, Max leads us to a w-e-l-l that God provides for us. And, just as importantly, Max shows us how to receive from God all that He longs to give us.

It is often difficult for us to receive. But Max helps us grasp that, more than anything, God wants us to receive, to come thirsty and drink deeply from the living water available to each of us.

I have learned so much from Max Lucado. For years his books have been a constant source of inspiration to me. And his friendship is something that I will always treasure. I have had the privilege of being ministered to one-on-one by Max, and I have had the wonderful opportunity to watch as he ministers – just as effectively – to an arena of fifteen thousand people.

My prayer for you, is that your soul is ministered to and refreshed through this wonderful book.
