Furious Pursuit
by Tim King and Frank Martin

What if you could believe that God not only chases you, but has yet to leave your side for a second, has yet to go a minute without courting you, whispering in your heart, I’m right here? What if you could believe that God is never distant, never out of reach, never indifferent to what’s going on in your life? Would that make a difference in your relationship with him?

Because of his nature, it is impossible for God not to pursue you. In Furious Pursuit, Frank Martin and Tim King invite you to lay down the smaller story of your life and instead tap into the Larger Story. To begin today, allowing God to transform the nature of your relationship with him. To stop chasing God and start embracing the Romance that is already well under way.

Begin today opening yourself to God’s Furious Pursuit. The accompanying Furious Pursuit Workbook is also available. Furious Pursuit was published in early 2006.

Can A Smart Person Believe In God?
by Michael Guillen

Whenever mind-boggling scientific discoveries make the news, logic rules. Yet whenever prayer and faith provide physical, emotional and mental benefits, spirituality rules. So which side should you embrace?

“It’s only with IQ and SQ,” Guillen says, “that you’re able to see the universe has depth… able to see yourself and others in their full, multi-dimensional glory.” Able to see more beauty and meaning in life than you’ve ever imagined.
