What do you hear--questions of trust, longing, disappointment,
courage, and love? In Longing for More, Timothy Willard
invites us to think and pray through our deepest needs, and
explores how the ebb and flow of life can be used for God's glory.
Creatively organized in 52 chapters that follow the four seasons of
the year, the daily readings point the way to a richer spiritual
life.

His poetic words and soul-reaching insights leave me longing for
more--more beauty, more depth, more Jesus, which is exactly what
this book offers."--Sarah Mae, author of Desperate: Hope for the
Mom Who Needs to Breathe
"There are sacred moments when life catches you up in its beautiful
mystery. Suddenly everything feels heavy and connected. You want to
weep and cheer at the same time. You come away empowered, fully
alive. Timothy sets you down in these moments. Get caught up in
them and watch yourself come to life." --Lacey Sturm,
platinum-selling musician and author of The Reason: How I

God. In Longing for More, the reader finds spiritual respite

"Timothy Willard has a chance to be the Oswald Chambers
to a new generation. He has a gift to release the power of devotion
that shakes our complacency, exposes our self-righteousness, and
triggers a fresh appetite for the heart of God."--Dr. Stephen R.

Organization
"In The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, C. S. Lewis
describes water so sweet and the Lamb on the shore. In Longing
for More, Timothy Willard, a spiritual writer gifted beyond his
peers and wise beyond his years, has drawn sweet draughts to quench
our thirst and held up visions of the Lamb to inspire our
pilgrimage."--Simon Ponsonby, teaching pastor at St. Aldates Church
and author of More: How You Can Have More of the Spirit When You
Already Have Everything in Christ
"'Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things,'
Paul wrote in Colossians. In Longing for More, Tim Willard
masterfully weaves the heavenly and scriptural perspective of
things above with authentic and relatable stories of life here
below. One can't help but recalibrate the inner spirit man onto an
upward facing trajectory. Thoughtful, encouraging, and insightful,
this book is more than just good reading, it's a daily challenge
for greater living."--Logan Wolfram, executive director of Allume
