God Came Near [UNABRIDGED]

Description of God Came Near:

Majesty in the midst of the Mundane. He looks like anything but a king. His face is prunish red. His cry, though strong and healthy, is still the helpless and piercing cry of a baby. He is absolutely dependent upon Mary for his well being. Holiness in the filth of sheep manure and sweat. Divinity entering the world on the floor of a stable, through the womb of a teenager, and in the presence of a mere carpenter. God had come near! Travel back in time and relive Christ the Son of God becoming man. In this stunning work, Max Lucado views the Savior who walked among us through a distinctly human lens. He speaks plainly to those of us who prefer to keep Jesus otherworldly, distant, and predictable: “Don’t do it. For heaven’s sake, don’t.  Let Him into the mire and muck of our world. For only if we let him in can he pull us out.” Through vivid word pictures, come with Max as he brings to life the most important event in history . . . when God Came Near.

Description of Max Lucado, author of God Came Near:

How clearly do you see Christ? Do you picture a wavy figure in a desert mirage, or the solid shoulder of a best friend? Do you depend on others to lead you, or do you actively seek his face? Does he seem far away, or amazingly, wonderfully near? You want to follow Christ, but at times you lose sight of him on a personal level. You may rely on the vision of a pastor, Bible study leader, friend of spouse. But God desires more from you than a second-hand faith. He wants you to see Him for yourself. To be touched by his glory. To witness His majesty. To know Him as Friend. That's why God Came Near. To be seen. For once you have caught a glimpse of his majesty, you will never be the same again. Unabridged. Read by Al Sanders. 3 CDs. 180 minutes.
