In this book the authors use stories to take you on a journey that explores the strategies God uses to ensure that we come His way. The stories are often gentle, portraying, for example, the innocence that can occur only in childhood, or the pure joy that is experienced when a child recovering from a brain tumor comes home to stay. But the stories can also be graphically disturbing as is seen in the description of a factory co-worker whose arm is crushed in a massive press or the horrific depiction of the senseless beating of an adolescent child. However, all the stories will show how God acts directly or indirectly in our lives. As you read, you will see God's unexpected presentation of Himself in the form of a Chicago beggar and His warm presence in the eyes of a younger brother. Other stories reveal that God never gives up on us, placing in our lives people who teach us about the strength, wisdom, compassion, and courage needed to love and finally come home to Him. Unlike what some of us may have been taught about a God of vengeance and power, this book focuses upon a God of compassion and boundless love and upon the patient heart of the Father aching for response, the Lover who without reciprocation continues to love. Chapter after chapter, examples are given to show how God is constantly sweeping and making clear our path to Him. From the time of our birth, we are all on our journey home. In the opinion of the authors, those nudges and bumps we feel on the way are never accidental. They are the prodding and pushing of a God who simply refuses to let us go, a God who is the consummate lover.
