Pursued: God's Divine Obsession with You
Christian faith isn't blind obedience to a set of rules and regulations; it is entering into a relationship with a God who pursues us-not to punish, but to love. As the leader of Central Christian Church in the self-proclaimed "Sin City, U.S.A.," Jud Wilhite has seen it all, and he knows that no matter how far someone has strayed from God, God always remains in passionate pursuit. Using the biblical prophet Hosea's marriage, commanded by God, to an unfaithful prostitute as a metaphor for God's unwavering love, PURSUED compellingly illustrates God's plan for every person-to be freed to become his or her own unique self through intimate togetherness with the living, loving God.

Using the biblical prophet Hosea's marriage, commanded by God, to an unfaithful prostitute as a metaphor for God's unwavering love, PURSUED compellingly illustrates God's plan for every person-to be freed to become his or her own unique self through intimate togetherness with the living, loving God.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"If you've ever read Francine River's book, Redeeming Love you must get this book! Jud's PURSUED message brings the story of Hosea and Gomer to life in a way that resonated deep within my heart. As a woman who longs to be accepted despite my faults and short-comings, this page-turning book was a pure gift of grace and truth. It reads as well as your favorite fiction book but leaves behind life-changing lessons of what it means to be personally loved and adored by God."—Lysa TerKeurst, President of Proverbs 31 Ministries, author of Made to Crave

"I just finished reading PURSUED. It changed my life! This book helped me understand that God's correction is for my protection. This book showed me how much God adores us! I really needed this book in this season of my life. Thanks, Jud Wilhite!"—Rev. Run, author of Words of Wisdom, founding member of Run-D.M.C, member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

"This is hands down the most important book you'll read this year. Jud brilliantly helps all of us understand the simple truth that there is a God who is pursuing us with a scandalous love. Whether you're starting a journey with God or you've been a Christ follower for decades this book can change the way you view God and what he's doing in your life. I'll pick this book up again and again."—Pete Wilson, pastor of Cross Point Church, author of Plan B and Empty Promises

Jud sheds light on an often-overlooked part of the Bible and reveals depths of God's grace that will breathe new life and energy into you!"—Christine Caine, founder of the A21 Campaign, author of Undaunted

"Does it seem odd to talk about God's obsession with you? It won't after reading PURSUED; it may actually seem like an understatement.

"All too often I hear people say, 'My life was falling apart and then I FOUND GOD!' This statement always causes me to scratch my head because I was never aware that God was actually the one lost...I was...and He found me! I love this fresh perspective offered to us by Jud in this new book, it's not that we are obsessed with God and are pursuing Him, but rather that He loves us and wants nothing more than to have a active, vibrant and ongoing relationship with us. You have got to read this book!"—Perry Noble, senior pastor of NewSpring Church, author of Unleash!
