Hunger Study Guide

Are you looking for a study guide to help you, your small group, or your whole church understand and practice spiritual disciplines? If so, this is the book for you.

It is based on Dr. Jon L. Dybdahl's book Hunger: Satisfying the Longing of Your Soul. Each chapter contains goals, a story from scripture providing background, and activities to help develop your spiritual life.

Human hunger for God is intense and universal. Even if suppressed or denied, it cries out silently from the depths. Such hunger is not a wish to know about God, but rather a quest to encounter Him. People want to touch, experience, and feel the divine - not just discover facets about God. - Dr. Jon L. Dybdahl

Humans have tried since the beginning of their creation to fill the hunger, or empty space, inside of themselves with all that they can find on their own. The desire for money, homes, cars, and various material possessions continues to fill our credit cards without filling our longing for "something."

Dr. Jon Dybdahl brings his passion for teaching into the second edition of his successful book, Hunger: Satisfying the Longing of your Soul, and from there into this study guide. Whether you are a seminary professor, a small group leader with 3-12 students or someone who seeks to move closer in your relationship to God, your Savior and Creator, you will find entrees that are biblically grounded to study and that are savory and healthy for your spiritual body.

Although retired, Jon L. Dybdahl, Ph.D. continues to lecture and teach in the areas of Missions and Spiritual Life. In the last nine years, he has taught in about 35 countries. He has an M.Div. from Andrews University, and a Ph.D. from Fuller Theological Seminary in Old Testament. Dr. Dybdahl is the author of Missions: A Two-Way Street, A Strange Place for Grace: Discovering a Loving God in the Old Testament, and Exodo La Biblia Amplificada. He and his wife, Kathryn have three children and nine grandchildren.
