Deep is the Hunger

Howard Thurman, the Pastor of The Church for the Fellowship of all Peoples, was one of San Francisco's most sought-after preachers at college chapels. His contribution to the large audiences he addressed each year across the country and to his own inter-racial congregation consisted not only of prophetic quality, but also of an ability to lead a group into an atmosphere of devotion.

In Deep is the Hunger: Meditations for Apostles of Sensitiveness, Dr. Thurman provides the devotional reader with twenty-five working papers for meditations, which grew out of his weekly messages at The Church for the Fellowship of All Peoples. The book is divided into four parts: (1) A sense of history; (2) A sense of self; (3) A sense of presence; and (4) For the quiet time.

"The attempt is not to set forth a connected series of observations or reflections, but rather to throw a shaft of light on aspects of thought, of life, of religious experience, as they are encountered in the daily round."Howard Thurman, Preface

"This is a book of rare quality, indeed, admirably suited for use during the season for personal or group devotionsDr. Thurman has an unusual and extraordinary gift for using the penetrating word, phrase and illustrationThis book and the meditations deal with problems everyone can all relate toOne of the best devotional books of the year."Kirkus Review
