In my experience, the veil gets thinner during desert seasons, allowing us to see God more clearly. My dear friend Allison expounds on that theme so beautifully in Thirsty for More that you may just find yourself longing for a little more sand in your life!

I love anything Allison Allen says, writes, or performs. This former Broadway actor delighted my heart and mind as we worked together in Women of Faith conferences. Her new book Thirsty for More speaks gently and encouragingly to those whose lives feel more like a scorching desert than a bubbling mountain stream. As Allison shares some of her own desert-like experiences, the reader feels understood and even hopeful that the desert way may well be the best water source for a parched soul.

I wished someone had given me this book years ago when I was about to walk through the driest season of my life. I couldnt see my destiny and I certainly couldnt see any blessings coming from my pain. Thirsty for More is a pivotal book for every one of us to dive into. It offers so much hope whether youre in a desert or about to walk through one. Allison has such a powerful way of equipping us for such a journey and pointing us to the One who not only transforms a surrendered heart but uncovers the richest of blessings through it all. You are not alone and your destiny awaits you on the other side of your desert.

Thirsty for More is a powerful read from beginning to end. Allen walks us through our desert seasons with spiritual depth, raw authenticity, and encouragement to persevere in the hard seasons. After reading, I feel more confident that my joy in being a Desert Daughter is an invitation for a closer intimacy with our Father. Journeying the unknown path of trust reveals a hope perspective and the tenacity to journey on, even if were scared. Thirsty for More is like having a conversation with a dear friend; a refreshing, permission-giving read of honesty, Jesus, and more .

For those who feel trapped in the fear of not enough , Allison Allens Thirsty for More is a refreshing reminder of the hope we have when we trust God as our ultimate Provider.

Allison Allens writing is a gift. Her ability to paint pictures with words had me standing next to her in every moment as she walked me through her wilderness. She beautifully shows that the desolate and forsaken place each of us claw and scratch against going into isnt as barren as we think. Drawing parallels between todays world and Scripture, Allison reveals how we are allured by our Father into the desert. Highlighting how he can use every moment to reveal himself and refine our hearts. This book allowed me to both see the despair yet experience the hope of lifes wilderness.

Jo Dee Messina , Grammy-nominated country music artist

This book is profound. Allison reminds us that we are not alone in times of drought. Her perspective on the valleys of our lives helped me see that tough times are an opportunity that should not be wasted. This is a must-read.

What a timely word in a day and age where the world tells us to do what makes us the happiest and to choose the easiest road possible. But we know that is not what our Savior did for us. Even though hardship is guaranteed, he promises that he will be in the midst of it with us. Allison has written a very needed and encouraging word. I guarantee whether or not you are in a desert place, you will be deeply blessed by this. We have oftentimes, as painful as it is, learned the most valuable things in the darkest of places. I pray that you would come to a more beautiful understanding about the depths of Gods love for you as you read through the pages of this book.
