They Drank from the River and Died in Wilderness

I eagerly long for the City of God in heaven but while i am here I want to drink from the River of God and have every once of God's wonder and goodness but I do not want to miss God's primary purpose for me. 

They Drank from the River and Died in Wilderness. We are living in a land not our own. We are looking for a city, whose Builder and Maker is God. Along the way, there will be rivers from which to drink. These "rivers" will renew, refresh, and restore vision and purpose. But the "river" will not ultimately satisfy the inner longing of your soul. 

The "river" along the way must not be mistaken for the City of God we all seek. We must go on, not being content with the provision of the "river," no matter how exciting its rushing power and glory may be. If you have enjoyed the "river," but cannot understand why frustration still seems to set in, you need to read this book. The "river" will never provide. Don't die in the wilderness. Learn how to go on in your experience with God
