Thirst for God offers a fresh approach to the timeless Beatitudes of Jesus found in Matthew's Gospel. Highlighting a reversal of values in the light of the Cross, this book invites the reader to embark on a spiritual journey of total dependence on God.

"As the deer pants for streams of water,
     so my soul pants for you, my God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
     When can I go and meet with God?" (Psalm 42:1, 2, NIV).

The human heart is incurably religious. Whether we choose to seek God or not, our need for Him will always inhabit the deep recesses of our soul. God not only encourages this journey; He also helps us understand the direction it should take and the power available through Him to enable our quest. Matthew 5, and its list of blessings, is more than a description of God's followers; it is also a prescription for our spiritual development. Let this volume guide you in the discovery of God's intentions for your life.

Endorsements

“In Thirst for God, my long-time friend, Miguel Valdivia, unlocks the power of the Beatitudes through personal stories and reflections that will move the reader to both prayer and action. The eight blessings from the Sermon on the Mount are a revolutionary call to being like God in a world that has no room for Him. If you’re thirsty for a walk with God that goes deeper than surface religion, this book is your ticket to the blessed life.”


—Randy Maxwell, author, If My People Pray, and pastor, Renton Seventh-day Adventist Church


“In a time of pandemic, racial tension, economic crisis, and political divide, the followers of Jesus must take their cue, not from political leaders of any party, nor from the media, but from the heart of Jesus. As you read Thirst for God you will be able to peek through His heart and into an infinite universe of blessings for people whom contemporary society may not always look up to, but whom Jesus calls blessed. This vivid and practical gem will lead you to a daily life of blessing through the eyes of the One who loves you most, Jesus.”


—Jose Cortés Jr., associate ministerial director, Evangelism, North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists


“I was deeply moved by reading Thirst for God. The stories touched my heart and brought me closer to God. The Biblical insight helped me to have a deeper appreciation for the Beatitudes. Even though I have read them many times, it was as if I am reading them for the first time. My heart was thrilled with the new insight I gained. If you want to move into higher ground spiritually and would appreciate in a new way the blessings that Jesus gives us if we follow Him, Thirst for God is a must read book for you."


—S. Joseph Kidder, professor of pastoral theology and discipleship, Andrews University
