Stop Chasing Him. Stop Chasing God and Follow HIM. Those three simple words- Stop Chasing Him changed everything for Angie Smith, and she believes they can do the same for us.
"Let's be honest: we've all questioned whether or not we're doing this "Christianity thing" the right way. Am I really a Christian? If I'm doing everything right, why do I feel so far from God? What am I missing?"
Best-selling author and highly sought-after speaker Angie Smith struggled with these same questions, and the answers she discovered inspired her new book, Chasing God (B&H Publishing, January 2014). In Chasing God, Smith unpacks how our earthly, unrealistic expectations of God result in us chasing Him, keeping us from following Him.

So I have started this book, and I admit, there are more times than not that I do look good on paper. I do what I am "supposed" to according to the religious aspects of Christianity. I go to church, read my Bible, I pray, I even teach. But do I have that relationship that is required of me? Christianity isn't about living? It's about letting the desires of life die off so I can truly seek, follow and have a relationship with Him.
I do have a copy of Chasing to give away to one very blessed reader. For some this book is a very personal subject, and I respect that, so I am not going to ask any mandatory question other than "Who wants to add this book to your library?" Bonus entries are available.
