Join best-selling author Christopher West on a life-altering journey through classical art, pop music, and film by way of the Christian mystical tradition. Fill These Hearts explores the ancient but forgotten truth that our infinite need, our often restless hearts, are pointing us toward a God who made us in His image.
About
This is a book about Desire. Not just trivial wants or superficial cravings, but the most vital powers of sexuality and spirituality that haunt us and compel us on our search for something. Along the way, Fill These Hearts blows the lid off the idea of Christianity as a repressive, anti-sex religion and unveils the hidden truth of life – that the restless yearnings we feel in both our bodies and our spirits are the very cry of our hearts for God.
