    About this audiobook

    Find hope as you learn to hear God's voice and realize He is searching for you.

    How far do you want God to go in getting your attention? Don't answer too quickly. Give it some thought.

    What if God moved you to another land? As he did Abraham. What if he called you out of retirement? Remember Moses? How about the voice of an angel or the bowel of a fish?  Á la Gideon and Jonah.

    God does what it takes to get our attention.

    It's the message of the Bible. It's the message of this book: the relentless pursuit of God. God on the hunt. God in the search. Peeking under the bed for hiding kids, stirring the bushes for lost sheep. Searching, wrestling, pulling us back to him, over and over again. Kind, then stern. Tender and tough. Faithfully firm. Patiently urgent. Eagerly tolerant. Softly shouting. Gently thundering.

    With pictures and parables from everyday life Max Lucado calls us to trust God in tough times. God's goal, Max reminds us, is to get us home safely. He'll do whatever it takes to save his children. God's thunder is gentle. And his gentleness never ends. If you need a reminder of God's love, an assurance of his strength, an example of his kindness, A Gentle Thunder will help you hear a message of hope as you realize God has been trying to get your attention all along.

      A friend and I read this book together and shared our answers to the questions in the back of the book as well as our thoughts on various chapters. My friend's father enjoyed having her read some of the stories contained within to him.

      read this several years ago; Max is so inspirational; this book is just a compilation of short stories for lack of better description; actually feels like excerpts from multiple sermons or talks; but is a wonderful read none the less
