Does God want us fulfilled? Popular psychology says we should be
fulfilled. Advertisements tease us with dozens of ways we can be
fulfilled. Many preachers and book promise Christian fulfillment.
But in this surprising (and surprisingly liberating) book, Craig
Barnes suggests we weren't created to be whole or complete. With a
fresh reading of the early chapters of Genesis, he says that much
of our pain and disillusionment arises from wrong expectations of
the gospel and of life. Echoing comedian Bob Newhart, Barnes "would
like to make a motion that we face reality." He candidly draws from
his own experience as a son, a student, a husband, a father and a
pastor to help us see what we all know but are so reluctant to say
aloud--that biblical living will not save us from crises or
unfulfillment. Barnes writes for anyone who knows that faith must
be tough enough to "hold up in the emergency rooms of life." But he
doesn't merely help us face reality. He helps us see how our needs
and limitations are gifts, the best opportunities we have to
receive God's grace. Because of that, Yearning may be the most
honest and the most helpful book you'll read this year.
