Broken Cisterns: Thirsting for the Creator Instead of the Created

Today many of us are figuratively drinking from broken cisterns. Rather than finding satisfaction in God, the Fountain of living waters, we seek to satisfy ourselves with the broken cisterns of this world, and we remain discontented—addictions to things like social media, physical appearance, shopping, sex, and others. Sarah helps us understand why we are drawn to these things and how dangerous it is to seek contentment in them. She gently and practically leads us to living waters, He who transforms our hearts and eternally satisfies our thirst.

“Pleasure, success, reputation—they never deliver the satisfaction they promise. That’s because God has designed us for something infinitely better—abundant life in His Son. Ivill shows us biblically and practically how to avoid those pitfalls and live life to the full in Christ our Savior. A terrific read for individuals and book groups!”

—Lydia Brownback, author, Flourish Bible Study series

“‘How does Sarah know me so well?’ This is the question I kept asking as I read Broken Cisterns. Sarah understands me and my heart. Many people write about problems, but not everyone has the insight into how to apply the Word to solutions on growing
and changing. Sarah does.”

—Helen Holbrook
