An airline disaster brings loss and love from unlikely sources When Swissair Flight 111 crashed in the ocean on September 2, 1998, the world of Dr. David Wilkins and his wife, Janet--like the flight their son had taken -- came crashing to a halt. Their painful journey would lead them to a rocky Nova Scotia coastline and to a reevaluation of all they had ever believed. With the help of best-selling author Cecil Murphey, Dr. Wilkins shares his family''s intensely personal story of losing a son, grieving, questioning God, and finally coming to terms with the fact that even if we could know the answers, sometimes answers are not enough. Yet in the midst of loss, there is joy in finding out for certain that even in our deepest darkness, God does not leave us alone. The loss won''t ever go away, but neither will He.

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.

When God breaks in with His love and help, lives change, growth occurs, and His work is done. 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.
