Product Description

We dream, we crave, we don't apologise, we run - relentlessly.

A God chaser is someone whose hunger exceeds their reach. A God chaser is a person whose passion for God's presence presses him to chase the impossible in the hope that the uncatchable might catch him. A child chases a loving parent until, suddenly, the strong arms of the father enfold the chaser. The pursuer becomes the captive - the pursued the captor. Paul put it this way: 'I chase after that I may catch that which apprehended me' (Phil.3:12).

Job was a God chaser. He said, 'Oh that I knew where I might find Him!' David was one; he said, 'My soul followeth hard after Thee'. The passionate paths of God chasers can be traced across the pages of history, from Moses the stutterer, David the singer, and Paul the itinerant preacher, to contemporaries like A.W. Tozer, Leonard Ravenhill, and countless others who share one common bond: an insatiable hunger to know their Lord. These are people whose relentless, passionate pursuit of Christ often made them appear foolish in the eyes of others. Yet, having tasted his goodness and glimpsed the invisible, they could be satisfied with nothing less.

Amazon.co.uk Review
In an age of instant gratification and information overload, Tommy Tenney emphasises 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 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 revelation so that we may be saturated with His presence, arguing that experience supersedes 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. --Jill Heatherly

'I must warn you, this is a dangerous book. If you are comfortable and complacent and want to stay that way, don't even open its pages!'

Ken Gott, Revival Now!, Sunderland, UK
'The God Chasers is not for the fainthearted, but for those who, in pursuit of God, are willing to die in the process.'

Must read for those wanting more than a trickle of God
If you are tired of church as ususal,the same program with a little bit of God's anointing, know there is more. Tommy Tenney provides insight into that "more" of God. For those who want to truly get in His presence and experience the fulness of joy must read this book. However you must be absent from the body(the flesh) to be present with the Lord. IF YOUR DYING TO SEE JESUS, read this book!

Danger: You will be accountable and You must die!
Be careful! Be very careful!! This book will knock you out of your apathy! I suggest that if you enjoy going to sleep at night and enjoy a quiet pray life. Do not read this! If you have built yourself a reputation. Do not read this. However if you want to experience the Glory of God in your life. If you want to know what the train of God looks like. If you want to see the face of God then get this book. It gives you a gentle shove into the hottest fire on earth. God's refining fire. Be warned however, "Only Dead Men can see God's Face!"

Excellent, if you are starving for the things of God, read.
How close do you want to be to God? What are you willing to do to get near Him? This book will encourage you to come into His Manifest Presence and never leave. How can we live without Him. This book is a call to purity and the deep things of God. If you want to be with Him you need to hunt for Him, it will cost you everything. I'm telling you this chase is worth it, because at the end of it you get to live in presence forever. This book will make you hungry for the things of God.
