The God Came Near

<p><strong>Join bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado as he brings to life the most important event in history: when <em>God Came Near</em>.<br /></strong></p><p>It all happened in a moment--a most remarkable moment: God came near. He came not as a flash of light or as an unapproachable conqueror but as One whose first cries were heard by a peasant girl and a sleepy carpenter. The hands that held him were not manicured but callused and dirty. No silk. No ivory. No hype. No party. No hoopla. God came near just for you.</p><p>In <em>God Came Near</em> Max reminds us that just because we want a calm life doesn't mean we'll have one. The minute you sink down in the easy chair of life heaven pushes the remote and changes the channel: </p><ul><li>The financial aid office says no.</li><li>A doctor says pregnant.</li><li>The boss says transfer.</li><li>The test grade reads F.</li><li>The auto mechanic says totaled.</li></ul><p>Despite the challenges we face on earth the Bible gives us a chance to be eyewitnesses of Jesus' majesty. We can take on our problems we can have a fresh start tomorrow and we can rest assured in the safety of God's embrace. Christ entered our world and as a result we can enter his.</p><p><em>God Came Near</em> invites you to travel back in time and celebrate Christ the Son of God as he became man. When you catch a vision of this incredible moment let it mark the beginning of a new perspective a new life and a new appreciation for Jesus. Because when you see the truth of his life it will change yours forever.</p>
