Sought: The Shocking Goodness of a Seeking God

by Jackson Crum

Sometimes people think of God as uncaring and disengaged from the human experience. Other times, people think of God as angry and vengeful, looking for reasons to punish. Still others imagine God to be confusing, hard to understand, and harder to know. People don't often think of God as being near. God is not as distant as we make Him out to be. God does not sit on the sidelines waiting for people to come to Him. Instead, He pursues us. Jackson Crum wants people to know that truth. Using both personal stories and biblical narratives, Jackson invites you to understand the truth of a God who loves and pursues you. Experience the shocking goodness of the God who chases after you because you are sought... you are loved... you are known. Jackson Crum's heartbeat is for people to understand, in the simplest of terms, that they are known and loved by God. That truth changed the trajectory of his life while in college. Jackson loves exploring the world with his wife, Donna. He is a rabid sports fan who is unable to root for his teams with an "inside" voice, being convinced they can hear him through the TV. These days he is often found reading stories that rhyme with one or more of his six grandchildren with thanks to his two sons and their fabulous wives.

As a member of Park Community Church and a fan of Jackson’s preaching, I bought this book knowing I would likely enjoy it just as much as I do my Sundays at Park. It did not disappoint! This book is a great tool for those who feel the Lord calling their name as it teaches us who God really is and what He feels for us. I plan to keep this on my bookshelf as little as possible in the hopes that I may share it with many people in my lifetime.
