Chasing the God Who Chases Us: Unshakable Pursuit
“There’s a God pursuing us in love, tapping our shoulders, and telling us life will only find its rhythm when we chase after Him with everything we’ve got. There’s a world walking the paths God has orchestrated, just waiting for someone to be fully engaged in His story and share it with them.” (Grace Thornton, Unshakable Pursuit)
