The God Who Satisfies: How Jesus Seeks, Saves, and Satisfies Samaritan Women—Like Us

Description

God is seeking worshipers. But He doesn’t find them. He makes them! From what? From Samaritan women like us. And He does so through the life-changing power of the gospel!

“The story of the woman at the well is one of the Gospel’s crown jewels, and Chris Anderson helps us see its brilliant facets of mercy and hope for sinners. This book draws us into the conversation beside the well to see ourselves and, above all, to see the Hero of the story. Jesus’ stunning love and thirst-quenching grace is enough to cause us, like the Samaritan woman, to leave our stuff and run around the corner or around the world to tell others of Christ, ‘the Savior of the world’!”

“In this little book, The God Who Satisfies, a gifted poet transitions to prose. I have known Chris Anderson for over two decades, first as a student and then as a fellow laborer in the work of the Kingdom. This book’s focus on the Samaritan woman is full of Christ and the glorious gospel of grace. Written in an easy-to-read, popular style full of real-life illustrations, the book effectively links helpful background facts and precisely-stated theological truths to experiential application. Throughout, the heart of the author is exposed. What Mr. Anderson writes is not just theory, but the expression of his own experience with the all-sufficient Savior. It is a book that can be used for evangelism as well as for warming the believer’s heart to renewed gratitude for what Christ has abundantly supplied.”

“Over the space of His earthly ministry, Jesus must have had hundreds of personal conversations with people, yet the number of them recorded in Scripture is actually quite limited. So, the dialogues God wrote down for us are rich with truth about Jesus, His mission, and the people He came to save. Chris Anderson mines the riches of John 4 and in The God Who Satisfies paints a beautiful, compelling portrait that shows us God’s glory in the face of Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 4:6). Read it to grow in your love for Jesus Christ. Read it to marvel at His mercy toward sinners—like us. Read it to learn from the Master how to point them to the God Who satisfies!”

“Chris has always made Christ the center of his ministry. This engaging book will inspire you to seek Christ and find that He is all-sufficient for every need and circumstance.”
