An outstanding book that will help Orthodox readers more deeply appreciate their faith, and will give Protestant readers a more thorough understanding of the Church.

Beginning in the street ministry days of the Jesus Movement, Matthew Gallatin devoted more than twenty years to evangelical Christian ministry. He was a singer/songwriter, worship leader, youth leader and Calvary Chapel pastor.

Nevertheless, he eventually accepted a painful reality: no matter how hard he tried, he was never able to experience the God whom he longed to know. His was a great dream that could not find fulfillment, a deep question that could not answer itself, an eternal thirst dwelling in a land of shallow wells.

In 'Thirsting for God', philosophy professor Matthew Gallatin expresses many of the struggles that a Protestant will encounter in coming face to face with Orthodoxy: such tings as Protestant relativism, rationalism vs. the Orthodox sacramental path to God, and the unity of Scripture and Tradition.

He also discusses praying with icons, praying formal prayers and many other Orthodox traditions.
