God does what it takes to get our attention. How far do you want God to go to get yours? Don't answer too quickly. What if God moved you to another land? (As He did Abraham.) What if He called you out of retirement? (Remember Moses?) How about the voice of an angel or the bowel of a fish (Gideon and Jonah.) God does what it takes to get our attention. That's the message of this book: the relentless pursuit of God.

Max Lucado has written a devotional masterpiece that can attract the attention of any philosopher who is searching for the meaning of life or give insight to any clergyman who is in search of material that can supplement his or her preparation for a thought-provoking sermon.I am generally wary of those who attempt to use individual biblical quotes to postulate their personal opinions and then formulate themes that they call daily devotions. In other words, beware of those who attempt to use scripture to "fit" their points-of-view.Lucado, on the other hand, does the opposite. He presents a variety of stories that range from moral tales to historical accounts of triumphs and disasters, all of which parallel the fables and parables of ancient times, and while reading each chapter, one should conclude that if there is any point that Lucado is trying to get across, it is not for his own personal benefit; instead, it is this: we fail to realize that there are so many modern-day events in our world that make the works of the gospel writers just as relevant today as they were in the past and that many of these happenings brought to life are just as applicable to the so-called ordinary individual as they are to the famous figures who headline our daily news.
I loved this book. It was the first one of Max Lucado's that I have read and I liked it so much, I have read 5 more since then. I recently gave this book to my brother who is going through a tough divorce. But that was only after I had read it twice. I loved this book and Max Lucado is so anointed. I recommend this book and would recommend this book to anyone.
This book will give you an understanding of why God's message is delivered as it is, to get our attention. Max provides some wonderful stories from John to broaden our understanding of why God communicates the way he does.
A friend of mine gave this book to me as a gift. It is truly the best book I have ever read when it comes to improving your personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I really enjoyed Max Lucado's style of writing. He used examples that made sense to me and that I could relate to. He grabs you and makes you want to read more. I am looking forward to reading other books by Lucado and hope that he continues to help those of us in search of HIM
So far I have loved every book from Max Lucado. They have helped me get back to Christ and our Father after many years away from the Church. His words always comfort me and make me think. His biblical references are helpful to note and read again and again. I like to put these references in categories like; fear, despair, how to pray, etc. Then I can read the Word right from my bible when I need help from the Lord's own teachings.
Once again Max Lucado writes a book that will not allow you to put it down for any length of time. His writings are easy to read and understand. He always puts a new viewpoint onto God and His word. It is always a pleasure and a blessing to read one of Max Lucado's books.
Max Lucado has to be one of the all time greatest writers!!I have a library of his books and read them quickly. GREATreading and studying material...he has a talent for makingeach word mean something while having such neat humor.Thank you for carrying his books!!
