GOD CAME NEAR by Max Lucado ($12.99)

"There is a story about a group of climbers who set out to scale a large mountain in Europe. On clear days, a breathtaking peak of snowcapped rocks reigned as king on the horizon, inviting admiration and offering inspiration to the climbers. On days like this, the hikers made great progress. They climbed as one, all looking to the same summit. Yet, on some days, the peak was hidden from view. Then the climb became arduous. Eyes were cast downward, the goal forgotten.

We are like that. As long as our goal is within eyesight, htere is no summit that we can't scale. But take away our vision, and discouragement results.

That's why God came near: to be seen. When we understand how close he is, we can know that we will reach the top. We just need to keep climbing." (From the book flap) Includes Bible study questions for discussion and reflection, as well as related Scripture passages for each chapter. 204 pp.
