Caskets should only come in one size. This was Jim's observation on the worst day of his life. Or was it? Jim was a typical father both loving and involved. But on this day, Jim's Tradition, charms on a bracelet, caused him to doubt how he fathered the most wonderful seven-year-old girl, Zoe. Jim traded this doubt for his sense of peace, and nothing he was doing helped. He needed help and the Journey, along with Zoe and the mysterious Abe, was there to do just that. With a sense of wonder, Jim was carried through a series of places and events. Each setting was more spectacular than the last, and each place was set up to teach and make Jim understand reality. Jim's search for peace could only be found through turmoil and hard work. And with each setting came a charm, a charm that was made by his own hard work and example of a father. In the end, he would find peace right where he left it, right in the middle of the truth. Jim was a great father, and all of heaven was there to teach. All Jim needed to do was let go and listen. All he needed to do was seek and find. The Journey was real, and Jim's Tradition didn't stand a chance.

You’re not defined by what you’ve done. You’re defined by Who pursues you. 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? And what if you could go a step further and believe that God’s pursuit has nothing to do with your level of faithfulness? He is just as near, and just as vigilant in his pursuit, regardless of your dedication to the spiritual disciplines, and in spite of your struggle with sin. Because of his nature, it is impossible for God not to pursue you. In Furious Pursuit, Tim King and Frank Martin invite you to lay down the smaller story of your life and instead tap into the Larger Story. To begin today by 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!
