What Does It Take to Grab God's Attention?

Ready to jumpstart your faith? In When God Stops, Dr. Derek Grier dissects the
extraordinary God-encounters of eight ordinary men and women in the Bible. The
retelling of each biblical account from a new perspective will uncover the answer to
the age-old question: What makes God stop and pay attention? The answer is great
faith.

Whether it was a man with leprosy, a sick child, or a short tax collector 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 as a young
man, angry at God, 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. But it cost him many friends.

The greatest man who ever caused God to stop was Jesus Himself. The perfect,
uninterrupted faith Jesus exhibited as a man-in the face of tremendous rejection and
hatred-is the kind of faith that pays the highest price. We now have a Friend in
heaven praying on our behalf.

Even the greatest saints in church history have struggled through times of great
difficulty. Dr. Grier skillfully reminds us, however, that our compassionate High Priest
always has His gentle hand on the pulse of our lives. Don't give up. In His own time,
He will respond in glorious ways to those who call upon Him.

When God Stops contains what some call the "Grier secret sauce": a mixture of
amazing teaching, personal transparency, humility, and an abiding faith.

This book will help Christians attract the favor of God, embrace personal
transformation, and develop their gifts for the greater good.

Call out to God and watch Him stop for you.
