Isn't wanting sinful and selfish? Aren't we supposed to find and follow God's will rather than insisting upon our own?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe story of each person is a story of want--desires unmet, hopes dashed, passions pursued and ambitions fulfilled. Our wants cannot be ignored. But when desire is informed by Scripture and re-formed by our spiritual practices, it can root us more deeply in the fundamental belief that God is good and generous and can invite us into active kingdom participation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJen Pollock Michel guides us on a journey of understanding who we are when we want, and reintroduces us to a God who gives us the desires of our hearts. That same good God calls us into a new reality in which we seek first his kingdom and righteousness, and we discover our disordered desires burned away while our truest longings are happily fulfilled and purified. The disciples asked Jesus to \"Teach us to pray.\" This book asks, \"Teach us to want.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jen Pollock Michel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0830843124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780830843121\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e IVP\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.26h x 5.87w x 0.59d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Christianity Today Book Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Christianity Today Book Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Christian Book Award - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Retailing\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2014 pg. 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristianity Today\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2014 pg. 83\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCBA Retailers\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2014 pg. 42\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Retailing\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2015 pg. 4","brand":"Jen Pollock Michel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947386536191,"sku":"9780830843121","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b98a3890-aae1-4d66-90db-b33357f9f783.jpg?v=1681518419","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/teach-us-to-want-jen-pollock-michel-9780830843121","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
