Review: TEACH US TO WANT by Jen Pollock-Michel

it seems strange to have to ask to be taught desire in a culture that screams, "Gimme!" Very often, though, Christians are told not to want anything and to just be satisfied with what we have. While it's clear we're not to indulge our selfish desires, just being satisfied is the opposite of what Jesus taught.

This book is about biblical wanting, asking so that we can glorify God rather than gratify ourselves. It's not the kind of thing I would ordinarily get, but it was a free download from Christianaudio.com, and "free" is my favorite genre.

I didn't expect to like this, but I did. It was entertaining, informative, and biblical. I recommend it.
