My Heart's Desire
Overview
For many of us, the wide-eyed astonishment we once experienced in God's presence has all but vanished. But God wants much more for us.
In My Heart's Desire, pastor and best-selling author Dr. David Jeremiah shares how you can gain an exuberant passion for God that never goes away. Using Scripture as his anchor, Dr. Jeremiah invites you to discover a fresh understanding of worship, exploring what it means to encounter God every day with a heart filled with marvel and praise.
"When you make worship a continuous part of your life," he says, "you'll be more devoted to God and better connected to family and friends. You'll be more focused in your work. The crippling cynicism will melt away, and you'll be energized by the power of living faith." It is then that you will satisfy your heart's desire to live every moment in the wonder of worship.
