Chasing God Kindle Edition

Maybe you’ve never asked the question out loud, but you’ve wondered. You do the things that look good on paper: read your Bible, pray, attend study groups and go to church on Sundays.
 
But you aren’t convinced you really know Him.
 
Angie Smith understands, because she had run circles around the same paths searching for Him, frustrated at her lack of progress. And she probably would have continued to do so had it not been for one realization that changed everything.
 
She wasn’t following God; she was trying to catch up with Him. 
 
And without realizing it, you may be as well.
 
It’s a distinction that affects every aspect of our lives with Christ, and it begins with learning where we’ve relied more on man’s explanation of God than God Himself.
 
So many requirements, so many rules, and so much guilt where there is supposed to be freedom. It’s the reason you wonder if you’ve measured up, and the nagging voice that tells you you’re a failure as a Christian.
 
Three simple words changed everything for Angie, and she believes they can do the same for you.
 
Stop chasing God.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2014

I read this book at a God appointed time, I truly believe! I have been a Christian for 32 years and never had peace. I did numerous Bible studies, even taught them, read books, all making high stacks. I was confused, I knew all the knowledge, but there was something missing! I was desperate to know what it was- I questioned.my salvation,but I was sure of my salvation. This book showed me that I was "Chasing God!" This book helped me realize thus and that I just have to "Trust God"!
I'd recommend this book to everyone!!
It's easy to understand, yet has great insight Into Biblical questions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chasiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing God: a revelatory look at who we are before God, and who he is before us
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2016
Verified Purchase
I don't often read this type of book these days, because I have found that too many books like this turn me away, instead of toward God. All too many times, I see an attitude of superiority in books like this that seems to say, "I know more than you do, and I'm more spiritual than you are, or ever will be." But this is not a book like that. This is one daughter of God, sharing with her sisters and brothers in the Lord, how she came to realize that chasing God isn't necessary, because he is is right here with us, close enough to touch us, and let us touch him. She explains, with humor and self-acceptance, that, no matter where we are, and no matter where we came from, God is with us in Jesus and in the Holy Spirit as well as in the Father. We are not just created beings, from whom he is detached, but we are his daughters and sons, who he loves and who can love Him. In this book, and the Bible passages to which it directs us, we can find healing and rebirth, as soon as we stop acting religious and believe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Smith has great thoughts and insights on the Christian life
Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2017
Verified Purchase
Ms. Smith has great thoughts and insights on the Christian life. Her main premise is to stop "Chasing God" with our own fallible human efforts. Her main thoughts on how to do this are: learn to wait on the Lord and let Her chase you.... Still not an easy task, but much more in line with the Lord of Love we see in the Sacred Texts.... Ms Smith's "Cutsie-pie" humor is an acquired taste but for the most part a sweet and endearing attempt to connect.... enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good advice told through the author's life spent chasing God
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2017

Angie includes several places where a word or phrase is used for the first time in the Bible. I enjoyed that information, because it shows the importance of that circumstance, and the reason it is set apart, or illustrates the beginning of a shift in focus or purpose. These places in the Bible are full of rich insights. Angie also talks about her shift in focus, when she stops chasing God, and instead experiences His love, and learns to trust Him. She spent years chasing God, thinking she wasn’t smart enough to understand Him, so she kept trying to prove she deserved His love by trying to do what she thought she must. She would read the Bible beginning to end, again and again. She would chastise herself for not reading more, and not studying more. The day she stopped chasing after God is a beautiful bitter-sweet moment in her life. I will not spoil it by revealing it here. Angie’s story of Chasing God takes us through her early experiences with God, and what she learned through the process. It takes us through her life to the result today – a deep rich faith in God. Encouraging read!

5.0 out of 5 stars I didn’t connect but I know a lot of people who enjoyed this book!
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2018
Verified Purchase
I did not connect well to this book. I gave it 5-stars because I believe anything that shares the word is worth 5-stars. I believe this book would be considered more reigious vs. a guide. It’s mostly personal beliefs on the Bible and who she thinks are God is. Scripture mentioned is ultimately used from a religious standpoint. I believe this book was written towards a certain group of people (possible southern baptist women), not intended for everyone. Still, I appreciate the fact she wrote the book. I know other people that actually enjoyed it.

Such a refreshing read! Great reminder that there is nothing more important than entering the presence of our God! We dont have to chase God. He meets us right where we are. I love reading Angie's books. She writes as if she is talking. She may go off on little side tangents that don't have much to do with what that chapter is about, but leaves the reader feeling like a conversation is occurring. That is a nice change.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Book!
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2014

I have never read a book that has touched me as deeply as Angie Smith's book, Chasing God. It was as though the book was written about my life, and my journey of chasing God. I appreciate Angie being so open and honest about her own life as she writes. She seamlessly weaves her life experiences with scripture stories throughout the book. Angie's wit and humor had me laughing (out loud!) in so many places throughout, yet some of her words brought me to tears. Chasing God has helped me to understand that my journey should not be about chasing after God, but rather it should be a beautiful journey of walking beside Him. Truly, Chasing God is a "must read" for anyone seeking a deeper relationship with God.

I love this author! Excellent write. Now in my top 2 books of just the writing alone.
Add the topics and its even greater! I love her humor, perhaps it is because it is like she is writing my own thoughts as well. Ha!
Also, I feel lighter in light of the truth (it shall set us free, right?) And finally free from myself!
I will read this over and over and over! Recommended for everyone! Literally!

I love this book. This book must be read by everyone. I am lost for words. I cried and laughed, sometimes on the same page and at the same time. What a writer and what a daughter of the Christ. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. No more chasing God.
