Furious Pursuit...

Tonight, my wife's family is here for the holidays... they're all down in the playroom right now, and I'm in my office doing some puttering. I picked up a book I was sent for review and cracked it open...

"Actually, weariness may not be the best word for what we experience from time to time. Let's call it a nagging sense that all is not right between God and us. We sense that our faith should be stronger, that our resolve should be more resolute, that our lives should be more in tune with God's will. And that we should be closer to God than we so often feel.
We speak of God's merciful love and our complete joy in having found it, yet deep in our souls we sense a strange divorce between our faith and our hearts. We can no longer deny the dark chasm that separates what we say about God from what we so often experience. There seems to be an identity crisis between the God we know and the God we profess to know."

There's something about a book that puts the deep, deep thoughts of your heart into words on a page... a book that makes you say "Me too!"

Think I might have to read this book...
Furious Pursuit: Why God Will Never Let You Go
