GENTLE THUNDER, A by Max Lucado +

14.95

The message of the Bible is that God does whatever it takes to get our attention. That is the message of this book: the relentless pursuit of God. God on the hunt, God in the search, stirring the bushes for the lost sheep, pulling us back to him, over and over again. Kind, then stern. Tender and tough. Faithfully firm. Patiently urgent. Eagerly tolerant. Softly shouting. Gently thundering. God is the pilot and we are the passengers. Though we may not understand his hand, we can always trust his heart. We can trust him to do what is right. If you need a reminder of his love, an assurance of his strength, or an example of his kindness, this is the book for you. Includes a discussion guide on each chapter with questions and suggested related Scripture passages. 227 pp.
