A Gentle Thunder

Max Lucado uses the ordinary and the unusual to creatively demonstrate God's faithfulness to His people. Wile E. Coyote, hummingbirds, Cinderella, New Yorkers and a waiter/cat are just a few of the unique characters that Lucado sketches in A Gentle Thunder. Add to this imaginative mix Lucado's vintage Bible character portrayals, some vulnerable moments he experienced as a missionary in Brazil, and the spiritual side of a cake-less wedding reception. In A Gentle Thunder, the ancient comes alive and the everyday becomes memorable. With the Gospel of John as the touchstone, each of these vignettes uniquely describes God's voice and our choice. Lucado poignantly portrays how God will do whatever it takes to get our attention, but leaves the choice to us. -- Midwest Book How far do you want God to go in getting your attention? Don't answer too quickly. What if God moved you to another land? (As He did Abraham.) What if He called you out of retirement? (Remember Moses?) How about the voice of an angel or the bowel of a fish (Gideon and Jonah.) God does what it takes to get our attention. That's the message of this book: the relentless pursuit of God.
