Hungry for More of God capitalizes on the popularity of books that lead the reader to have a deeper experience with God. It explores not only our vertical relationship with God, but also addresses how our horizontal relationship with others affects our experience of God. By using the popularity of contemporary, real life stories, Dr. Currie makes the biblical stories more poignant. As a professional psychologist, within a biblical framework, Dr. Currie sheds new light on the meaning of worship, prayer, forgiveness, courage, priorities, and friendships.
Each chapter opens with a vivid illustration that draws the readers in and introduces the chapter themes—a medical student tries to revive a man who has a heart attack or Albert Einstein has a humorous conversation with a six-year-old girl. Dr. Currie seasons each chapter with carefully selected illustrations and insights from C. S. Lewis, Moody, Bonhoeffer, Muggeridge, Spurgeon, Bounds, Sayers, Packer, Swindoll, and many more.

-
Provide practical suggestions for a deeper level of obedience,
-
Promote spiritual understanding and insight,
-
