...for The Magnificent Obsession

In The Magnificent Obsession, Anne Graham Lotz has sensed that the God who guided Abraham one step at a time is now guiding her life.  This should be carefully read by all who are diligently seeking God's will.

Cravings.  Cravings for power, approval, the corner office, the loudest applause.  We crave.  But behind these yearnings is a deeper one - a craving for God.  In these pages, Anne identifies this longing and shows u how God and only God can satisfy it.  Thank you, Anne, for this, and a lifetime of words that point us in the right direction.
