I cannot believe there is anyone whose life wouldn't be subtly and meaningfully enriched by spending an hour or two in the pages of A Hungry Soul. -John Killinger Author of Hidden Mark, The Zacchaeus Solution, and What the Blind Man Saw Part of how we see God is determined by how we listen to God. There is so much noise and movement in the world that competes with images of God. This noise would drown out God's beckoning voice and distract us. We may not sense what spiritual directors refer to as the thin place-God come near. Charles Qualls's A Hungry Soul Desperate to Taste God's Grace: Honest Prayers for Life offers readers prayers for that journey toward the meaning and mystery of God. For a half century, I have directed people who wanted to know how to pray to the Prayers of a French monk named Michel Quoist. Now when they ask me, I will direct them also to A Hungry Soul, an exceptional collection of prayers by a Baptist pastor from Georgia named Charles Qualls. You will learn from both how to converse and commune with God in ordinary happenings of every day. -E. Glenn Hinson Senior Professor of Church History and Spirituality Baptist Seminary of Kentucky
