How far do you want God to go in getting your attention?

Don't answer too quickly. Give it some thought.

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? A la Gideon and Jonah. How about a promotion like Daniel's or a demotion like Samson's?

God does what it takes to get our attention.

It's the message of the Bible. It's the message of this book: the relentless pursuit of God. God on the hunt. God in the search. Peeking under the bed for hiding kids, stirring the bushes for lost sheep. Searching, wrestling, 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's right.

If you need a reminder of his love, an assurance of his strength, an example of his kindness, you're holding the right book.

Review:

Max Lucado's A Gentle Thunder: Hearing God Through The Storm will help the reader weather any situation by hearing God throughout the storms of life. Lucado has the ability to bring his readers face to face with Jesus through powerful encounters from the Bible. In A Gentle Thunder, he takes an unforgettable journey through the writings of John as he shows over and over again the great lengths to which the Lord goes to bring His children to a position of belief. Through stirring narrative and moving stories, the reader learns that the gentle thunder is the force God uses to capture our attention and win our affection. -- Midwest Book Review
