Will I have enough? Am I enough? Do I matter? Deep in our souls is an ache that longs to be noticed, filled, transformed. And that ache boils down to these three fundamental questions. The extraordinary thing is that we find the answers to all three questions in the temptations of Christ. In The Ache for Meaning, you’ll journey through our questions and temptations into the deeper invitation Jesus offers.

That one line—the Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil—haunts me. And yet in these pages, I’m invited to follow, too, further into this terrifying, merciful terrain. Probing both Scripture and our soul’s story, Brown unfolds how our elder brother descended into the wilderness we all must enter and confronted the primal questions that lurk in the secret places of our heart. Here is a wise and gentle pen, providing ancient, sturdy wisdom as balm to every human longing.
