| Have you ever been lost? At one time or another, most of us have tried to find our way by ourselves. Like sheep that wander away from the shepherd, we wind up in undesirable pastures and in need of rescue. Whether misguided by mistakes, lost in muddled priorities, or alone in denial, we all need encouragement, understanding, and guidance on reuniting with God. Though we don't always follow, the Lord waits patiently for us to answer His call. He will come after us every time, and the reunion leaves us forever changed. If you have wandered, you can rest assured that God, in His grace, mercy, faithfulness, and unfailing love, will find you. If you're feeling weary, know that you can have a renewed sense of purpose, energy, and devotion. Karon Phillips Goodman reveals why you are never so lost that you won't be Pursued by the Shepherd. Each chapter includes questions for personal reflection or group study. About the Author Karon Phillips Goodman worked as a newspaper reporter, columnist, public relations director, technical writer, and Boy Scouts of America program director before she began writing full time. She has written for magazines and is the author of several books, including You're Late Again, Lord! Karon lives with her family in Oxford, Alabama. Click here to read a sample chapter!

| During a train trip from Chicago to Texas in the late 1940's, A.W. Tozer began to write The Pursuit of God. He wrote all night, the words coming to him as fast as he could put them down. When the train pulled into McAllen, the rough draft was done. Although written in such a remarkably short period of time, Tozer's passionate classic offers not only a deeper understanding of Biblical Truth, but a personal encounter with the very source of that Truth. |

| In case you're still wondering, you'll never be perfect. But does that mean you'll never be holy? Not necessarily. You see, holiness is a process, not an accomplishment. It's more about obedience than about perfection. Twenty-five years ago, this book opened Christians' eyes to a new perspective on holiness; became tangible and not some utopian dream. Now The Pursuit of Holiness goes with you wherever you go--in the car, on the plane, at home--as an unabridged audio book on CD. Whether you're taking in Jerry's message for the first time or the tenth, his message of grace and obedience will open your eyes to new areas of spiritual growth in your life. |

| Russell takes readers on a journey into the living knowledge of God. He uses Proverbs 2 to lay out the reality of eternity and the high calling of fasting and prayer. The message may seem like weakness and foolishness to the world, but it is an entrance into the heart of God. |
