Satisfied!

by Mark Finley

Way down, deep inside, what do you long for most? What are the unmet needs of your life that drive you to endlessly seek something—anything—to fill that undefined void inside?

We human beings are needy. We come into this world as a bundle of seemingly limitless and urgent needs. And as we grow and mature, we become aware of some of those needs, but not all of them. We so easily believe that just the right amount of money, just the right relationship, just the right kind of thrill or pleasure, will leave us satisfied.

In this brief but concentrated little book, Pastor Mark Finley of It Is Written Television points to the one and only way any of us can ever become truly satisfied.

For it's those inner needs—peace and love, faith and hope, assurance and self-worth—that cry out most urgently to be satisfied. And those needs can't even be met after a whole lifetime of frantically chasing after pleasure.

What is it then that can leave us totally and forever satisfied? These pages will show that this is the wrong question to ask. For it is not "What can satisfy?" but "Who can satisfy?" Come—and meet Him!

Q. Why did you write Satisfied?

A. Every human being has basic human needs. We all long for love, assurance, security and hope. In Satisfied, I decided to look at the lives of men and women in Scripture to discover how God meets the deepest needs of the human heart.

My conviction is that, although the moral landscape of society has changed, the fundamental issues have remained the same. The Biblical perspective reveals individuals who struggled with the same issues we face today. It also reveals how God met their deepest needs, and how He can meet ours today.

Q. What is unique about this book?

A. One of the most significant things about this book, other than its perspective, is the fact that it is not an end in itself. The last chapter offers individuals a free copy of Signs of the Times, a set of Discover Bible Study Guides or my free audiotape sermon, "The Best Is Yet to Come!"
