Dave weaves together music, movies, and documentaries to illustrate all the ways we seek relief—and then, full and free, he connects our need to Christ’s gift. Anyone who has raised teenage boys knows they don’t truly get full. Not really. They just pause their relentless eating—for maybe an hour—before resuming with renewed vigor. The only word that seems even remotely adequate to describe this adolescent phenomenon is voracious. That same word aptly describes my approach to books.

Perhaps God is not interested in clarity so much as faith. We do not proclaim ourselves; we proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus’ sake. For it is the God who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made clear that this extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us.
