Opis

You re not defined by what you ve done.
You re defined by Who pursues you.
What if you could believe that God not only chases you, but has yet to leave your side for a second, has yet to go a minute without courting you, whispering in your heart, "I m right here"? What if you could believe that God is never distant, never out of reach, never indifferent to what s going on in your life? Would that make a difference in your relationship with him?
And what if you could go a step further and believe that God s pursuit has nothing to do with your level of faithfulness? He is just as near, and just as vigilant in his pursuit, regardless of your dedication to the spiritual disciplines, and in spite of your struggle with sin.
Because of his nature, it is impossible for God "not" to pursue you. In "Furious Pursuit," Tim King and Frank Martin invite you to lay down the smaller story of your life and instead tap into the Larger Story. To begin today by allowing God to transform the nature of your relationship with him. To stop chasing God and start embracing the Romance that is already well under way.
Begin today Open yourself to God s "Furious Pursuit."

Companion workbook also available.

Praise for Furious Pursuit

These days, I m more inclined to think God s anthropology what God thinks about us packs more heft and punch than our theology what we think about God. Tim King and Frank Martin seem to think so too, and have written a book that draws us into the wideness and deepness of God s heart, showing us His fierce and tender affection even for sinners like me. King and Martin remind us that the good news has nothing to do with how good we are, only how loved.
Mark Buchanan, author of The Rest of God and The Holy Wild

The message of this book can t be stated often enough: God loves us. Oh yes, he does. Furious Pursuit shows us that God s love is active and vibrant and on the chase for you and me. Others have said this before, but Furious Pursuit takes us one step further.
Scot McKnight, author of The Jesus Creed and Embracing Grace

If you re sick and tired of spiritual to-do lists, religious shoulds and oughts, and the self-hatred that comes from feeling unacceptable, you ll find in Furious Pursuit better news of a better story. Tim King and Frank Martin have given us powerful truth, well-told."
Brian McLaren, pastor, author of A New Kind of Christian and The Secret Message of Jesus
