In an age of instant gratification and information overload, Tommy Tenney emphasizes that "we like things to come quickly, easily, and cheaply--microwave revival." The God Chasers seeks to reach those who hunger for God's manifest presence and whose endurance to boldly pursue Him will lead to heartfelt revival in America's churches. Tenney, a self-proclaimed God chaser, has preached since he was 16 and has toured in a mobile ministry for over 17 years in 30-plus states. Through personal accounts of the miraculous, Tenney insists that humility before and intimacy with God are the secret facets to apprehending more of God's glory. While the conservative may argue that God cannot be forced into a linear timeline, Tenney desires to "have God show up" in order to reveal new revelations so that we may be saturated with His presence, arguing that experience supercedes doctrine. If catching God is an impossible act, Tenney's passionate heart reveals that being caught by God is the hope--"you're chasing the impossible, knowing it's possible...the pursuer becomes the pursued." Tenney's writing is sure to birth a new generation of God chasers, anxious to be caught by God Himself.

Amazon reader review: Tommy Tenney provides context as he explores the ancient story of Esther from the Old Testament. The book can be summarized by the "Twelve Protocols of the Palace" in the back. In essence, it can be summed up even more by the principle of "seeking the King more than the palace." In this teaching, we're given an analogy between Esther's favor with Xerxes and our potential for favor with God.
