When God Stops: Faith that Gets God's Attention

What Does It Take to Grab God?s Attention?When God Stops shares the key to living a life that honors the Lord and jumpstarts your faith.Dr. Derek Grier dissects the extraordinary God-encounters of eight ordinary men and women in the Bible and reveals them as ?hidden figures? of the New Testament. The retelling of the biblical accounts from a new perspective will uncover the answer to the age-old question: What makes God stop and pay attention? The answer is faith.Whether it was a man with leprosy, a sick child, or a short tax collector sitting in a tree, they all had one thing in common-a burning desire to get God?s attention. Dr. Grier adds to the narrative by sharing the details of his personal pilgrimage. Growing up angry at God and looking for an identity, Grier eventually attended college and found the kind of faith that made him feel loved and centered for the first time in his life.Each chapter includes insightful verse-by-verse biblical teaching, compelling personal testimony, a section of practical application, and a thought-provoking discussion guide.About the Author Dr. Dererk Grier is the founding pastor of Grace Church in Dumfries, Virginia, which began with 12 people and currently has over 5,000 members.
