Book Review- Constantly Craving by Marilyn Meberg

Constantly Craving, by Marilyn Meberg is a must read for anyone who is craving more. Doesn’t matter WHAT you’re craving, we as humans are imprinted with this unquenchable desire for more. “Eve, of Genesis fame, was…the first woman in recorded history who did not want to be who she was or where she was….She knew she wanted more of whatever it was she didn’t have. Her craving for more was elusive and ill defined.” Her craving, and the consequences of her going looking for that more have left us all imprinted with the same elusive desire for more. Our cravings are written into our DNA and they influence our decisions. They often come from what we experience as children, but they leave us unsatisfied. Meberg details several of the things that women specifically crave more of, more romance, more contentment, more happiness. Then she humorously leads us straight to the One who can give us more; the only one who can truly satisfy our every craving; because, without really knowing it He is what we crave. Witty, funny and touching this book leaves nothing to be desired, but wanting more of Jesus.
