New Releases by Cecil Murphey

The Bible is the story of a Father pursuing his children. In The God Who Pursues, Cecil Murphey looked at the Old Testament. Now he returns in The Relentless God to examine God''s pursuit of men and women through the New Testament. Whenever God pursues people, their lives are forever changed. Looking at the examples of Paul, Jesus'' mother, Mary, Zechariah, Peter, and more, Murphey illustrates God''s expansive caring for those He loves. Readers will come to a new understanding of those divine encounters and be transformed as they more clearly recognize God at work in their lives. The Relentless God will be released in trade paperback in April 2003. In addition, a maximum-profit pack holding 6 copies will be available. 0-7642-9020-7; $71.94.

Bursting with energy and fresh insight, this manual helps ministry professionals recognize and respond to trends that affect their ministry in today''s world.

In a thoughtful study of people in the Old Testament, along with contemporary examples and personal illustrations, Murphey helps readers understand and respond to God''s relentless pursuit of their total love and devotion.

In this reference book on spirituality, Murphey helps readers answer questions on the Bible, who God is, and Christianity. He narrows his focus to that which we know is true: what the Bible says.
