Summary from goodreads:  According to bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst, craving isn’t a bad thing, but we must realize God created us to crave so we’d ultimately desire more of Him in our lives.

Made to Crave: Satisfying Your Deepest Desire with God, Not FoodMade to Crave: Satisfying Your Deepest Desire with God, Not Food by Lysa TerKeurst
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
When I began this book, I almost wondered, “Why am I doing this? I am at a fairly healthy weight. I don’t have a problem with food.” But I like Proverbs 31 ministries, and I had done some other studies with them, so I decided I would give it a try.

From the beginning, Lysa’s book spoke to me. I discovered that God made me to crave Him, nothing else. I had tried to fill my life with many other things except Him. And even if you don’t have a weight problem, this book will speak to whatever you crave instead of God.

I appreciated Lysa’s easy-to-read style, and I was convicted every time I turned around. Remember how I said food wasn’t my problem? It wasn’t. My issue was sex. And I was able to apply all the principles of this book to this particular issue.

I love the fact that this is not just another how-to book. It is all about getting your want-to. We were made to crave God, and this book will change your life if you let it!
