Book Overview
On March 5, 1985, Al Novak's life changed forever-and not just because his wife was a week away from giving birth to their youngest daughter.
That was the day he became chaplain at the Genesee County Jail in Michigan and began leading inmates from crime to Christ. Over the next thirty-three years, he helped those bound by sin and by the laws of man to find their way to the Lord.
The pivot came after some tough years living in Gladwin, where the author learned not to rely on the mediocre employment he'd occasionally find or the welfare system but God himself.
In this memoir, the author explores how he found his way to Christ-even when his fellow police officers seemed less than pleased with his newfound faith. He also looks back at his growing up days living in the Co-Op-families pooling their resources-to his high school adventures and then to marriage and a police career.
Al shares his God hunt as he learned to be content with his wages and discovered the unlimited power of prayer. He moved from intimacy to legalism to grace to performing for God but found little spiritual satisfaction until He got a great big hug from God.
You'll be inspired to overcome challenges and find your faith renewed as you learn about the author's incredible experiences in Chasing Intimacy.
