The Pursuit: Exploring the Heart of God

Is the God of the Old Testament different from the God of the New? Does God change in his nature or attitude towards us? Did he create sin? What does God think of me? If God is good, why do we suffer? Why does it feel like he is against me? The Pursuit is an exciting exploration of the God who passionately pursues humanity the crown of his creation. In a world that believes God is the enemy, that he desires only to afflict us with hardship unless we abide by impossible standards and unfair rules, this book paints a more accurate picture of who God is and what his plan is for us. The book offers a brief, 13-lesson overview of the pursuing God. Using various biblical texts, it will acquaint the reader with an overall picture of God. It demonstrates a God who desperately seeks out his prized creation to provide us with a way back into his family. As God pursues us, even to the extent of living among us as one of us and paying for our mistakes, he demonstrates how we can pursue him. If we pursue the God who pursues us, we will be restored to our rightful place in God s family. This overview will prepare the reader to understand God s love and plan as demonstrated in his pursuit of creation and will challenge the individual to commit to pursuing God in return. This same reader will also be prepared to guide others through an evangelistic 8-lesson study also found within the book.
