Help for the Hungry Soul Eight Encouragements to Grow Your Appetite for God's Word
Foreword by Jani Ortlund
“Help for the Hungry Soul serves as an encouragement to any of us, regardless of the season we are in, that God himself delights in arousing, sustaining, and satisfying our spiritual hunger by giving us the gift of his word and his presence. These short, content-rich chapters will encourage you afresh that God delights in filling the hungry with good things (Psalm 107:8).”
About the Book
In our never-satisfied world, our souls hunger for more, and it’s tempting to reach for the wrong “food” to satisfy our needs. Thankfully, God offers a life-giving and sustainable feast through Scripture. But how often do we sit at Christ’s table, truly hungry for his word?
Help for the Hungry Soul offers readers eight encouragements to spur their appetite for God’s word. Each chapter includes interactive elements such as reflection questions, activities, and testimonies that allow readers to reflect on their journey with their Bible and uncover why they should treasure God’s word. For those feeling discouraged or guilty about a waning desire for Scripture, author Kristen Wetherell will spark excitement in their spiritual life—ultimately encouraging them to put God and his word at the center of it all.

Editorial Reviews
In Help for the Hungry Soul, Kristen Wetherell has found a way to champion the habit of Bible reading without the frequent side effects of guilt or legalism. She invites us to dig deeper into God’s precious word while also freeing us from the obligatory ‘quiet time.’ This book is a hope-filled encouragement to those who long for more of God and yet constantly feel unable to find the time or energy to follow through.

Honest, personal stories from real people will enable you to identify with their struggles to grow in his word. Kristen’s insights have increased my commitment to pray for each of my 21 grandchildren to fall in love with the word of God (Psalm 119:105).
