Synopsis

The world seems to have figured out the formula for manufacturing material success, but when it comes to finding true, lasting happiness, we are as lost as ever. We yearn for more, or less, or something that’s just different from what we have right now.Deep down, we know there must be satisfaction for our longing. We just don’t know where to find it.In Chapter 7, Rich Wilkerson uses four powerful stories from the seventh chapter of Luke to explain why spiritual fulfillment cannot be found in ourselves, in other people, in material things, or even in religion. By studying the stories of the centurion’s faith, the resurrection of the widow’s son, Jesus’ message about John the Baptist, and the anointing by the woman with the alabaster jar, you will be able to face your doubts and insecurities and overcome your anxiety, discontentment, and depression. Wilkerson wants you to understand that the only answer for your spiritual bankruptcy is Jesus and that until you turn to him you will never experience the lasting peace and joy you so desperately crave.

Goodreads review by Jason on January 08, 2016

Rich Wilkerson, Jr., in his book Sandcastle Kings, pulls on those memory strings as he discusses the spiritually bankrupt world that we are living in and the need/desire to meet Jesus. Using four stories from Luke 7 – the centurion’s faith, the resurrection of the widow’s son, Jesus’ message about J......more

Goodreads review by Elisa on August 19, 2022

Biased opinion considering this was the first Christian book I read. I vainly decided to read this book just because Kim Kardashian tweeted it and Kanye's DONDA team designed the cover. However, as someone who was so deep in the world and desperately just seeking whatever to feel something other tha......more

Goodreads review by Thasima on August 31, 2016

i don't have a long profound editorial of how great this book is. But what I can say is if you are at a point in your life where everything seems to be going wrong or are experiencing a season of frustration it definitely can be a tear jerker. I think the most important concept in this book is disti......more

Goodreads review by Paige on April 23, 2019

Although I didn’t feel like I had any huge revelations reading this book, it was still a good read and a good reminder of some of the fundamental truths that a real walk with Jesus should be based on. If the premise interests you or if you are needing to learn or be refreshed on what it means to rea......more
