When God Stops

Description

What Does It Take to Grab GodÕs Attention?When God Stops shares the key to living a life that honors the Lord and jumpstarts your faith.Dr. Derek Grier dissects the extraordinary God-encounters of eight ordinary men and women in the Bible and reveals them as Òhidden figuresÓ of the New Testament. The retelling of the biblical accounts from a new perspective will uncover the answer to the age-old question: What makes God stop and pay attention? The answer is faith.Whether it was a man with leprosy, a sick child, or a short tax collector sitting in a tree, they all had one thing in commonÑa burning desire to get GodÕs attention. Dr. Grier adds to the narrative by sharing the details of his personal pilgrimage. Growing up angry at God and looking for an identity, Grier eventually attended college and found the kind of faith that made him feel loved and centered for the first time in his life.Each chapter includes insightful verse-by-verse biblical teaching, compelling personal testimony, a section of practical application, and a thought-provoking discussion guide.
