Pursued: God's Divine Obsession with You
by
Jud Wilhite
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...more

Wilhite's main theme is God loves us deeply and will pursue us even in our rebellion ... His love for us is relentless.
While some of the book is basic, I would bet the many like me need to be reminded of God's crazy and unexplainable love for us!
Here is one of the parts I would have underlined, if it wasn't a library book: "What I am to do is always rooted in who God says I am. We don't strive to attain our identity. Our obedience flows out of our identity. Grace comes before law. We see this i...more

Personal Review of this amazing book is just that Amazing, Pastor Jud Wilhite has done it again with a great book to get the message of God to the people. Pastor Jud brings his personal life story into this book with the Book of Hosea to make it very understandable to everyone and also brings other people's personal struggles and how God shows them his wonderful Love he has for all of us.

This is honestly the only non-fiction book I've ever read cover-to-cover. It's that good.
I'll keep this review short and to the point. It's a great book for both believers and non-believers. It's an especially uplifting read for those of us who feel the pains and sufferings of real world issues (e.g. drug addiction, abuse, financial problems, etc). I say it's uplifting because Pastor Wilhite (author) seeks to explain God's reasoning behind our suffering, that it's not an unjust punishment from a...more

"Pursued" is a study of the biblical book of Hosea to uncover the truth of God's passionate pursuit of his people. The book was written in a conversational tone and is easy to follow. It included a look at Hosea, present day examples, and how this understanding of God should impact our lives.
The book is especially for those who think that God is pursuing them with the desire to punish them. However, I think anyone--new Christian to mature Christian--can benefit from this reminder of how passiona...more

I wanted to see what all the twitter hype around this book was about. So I went and bought it! Overall I enjoyed it. I think it came at a time when I have heard so much over the past few weeks about this idea of "pursue". I was getting a little burned out by this subject.
Great walk through of Hosea and orienting it to us today to show how God is drawing us to him. Despite our circumstances.

Walking through the book of Hosea from the Old Testament I am reminded that no matter what I have done, that I am still pursued by a loving God who desires to have a relationship with me. Jud, using stories from along his own journey through life and those who he's met along the way, shows real-life examples of people changed by God's grace in moments when, like Gomer, they had run full-tilt from God. Whether you're just getting to know God or you feel stuck in your current relationship with Him...more
Excellent and inspiring book based on Hosea. GREAT JOB JUD!
Jud Wilhite takes the story of Hosea and Gomer from scripture and encourages readers that, while it is undeniable that mankind often resembles closely the unfaithfulness of Gomer in relation to God, God never stops pursuing a relationship with us. Great encouragement!
