Welcome to the Church of the Saviour study guide to the book, Sacred Thirst, written by Dr. M. Craig Barnes, President of the Princeton Theological Seminary, and 2013 Myers Lecturer.
This website offers chapter by chapter questions and notes from other study group leaders. Please feel free to add your own notes and comments. Suggested schedules are also available, based on the frequency and number of times your group plans to meet to discuss the book.
The description of the book says:
Jesus once said, “Those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty.” So why are Christians still thirsty? We throw ourselves into church work, Bible studies, prayer, missions, fellowship. Yet still we search restlessly for something more. What are we missing?
Perhaps the answer is, more of Jesus. Church meetings and programs, ministry, Christian counseling, and home groups are all good, but they are not Him… Our souls crave Him alone.
We have tried to satisfy our parched souls with so many other things – even religious things. But when we get to the bottom of our desire, we find Jesus quietly waiting with his living water – intimate communion with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This book is filled with unique insights into human experience and the character of God. With keen understanding of the needs of contemporary Christians, Barnes points to the only way our thirst will ever be satisfied. Drawing from his rich background in the Bible and his tender insights as a pastor, he leads us into a new understanding of ourselves and the uncontrollable but gracious God we seek
