JOHN PIPER By John Piper

… Introduction

This introduction to a Hunger for God: Desiring God Through Fasting and Prayer by John Piper beautifully illustrates the concept of homesickness for God. Piper draws a parallel between his own intense longing to be with his future wife, Noel, and the Christian’s deep-seated desire for a closer relationship with God. He suggests that just as he yearned to be with his beloved, Christians should similarly yearn for God, and that this longing can be a powerful motivator for spiritual practices like fasting and prayer.
