Glorious Intruder: God's Presence in Life's Chaos

By Joni Eareckson Tada

Book Overview

To everyone at Meridian High School, fourteen-year-old Michael Vey is nothing special, just the kid who has Tourette's syndrome. But in truth, Michael is extremely special-he has electric powers. Michael thinks he is unique until he discovers that a cheerleader named Taylor has the same mysterious powers. With the help of Michael's friend, Ostin, the three of them set out to discover how Michael and Taylor ended up with their abilities, and their investigation soon brings them to the attention of a powerful group who wants to control the electric teens-and through them, the world. #1 New York Times bestselling author Richard Paul Evans introduces a character whose risk-filled exploration marks the beginning of a riveting new series. With only his powers, his wits, and his friends to protect him, Michael will need all his strength to survive&.

This is no run of the mill devotional

If you think God doesn't care about you and every aspect of your life- I invite you to read this book. It's set up in sections with subtopics for a quick read (a page or two) on a subject. Not lengthy and boring. Joni basically opens up her life experiences with God and invites you to see His "Glorious Intrusions" in her life. It's not about religious mumbo jumbo- it's about Joni's own personal journey in relationship with a real, loving Spiritual Father. I've had this book for many years and still go back to it, time and time again. It is a source of encouragment to me. We all need to be encourged- this book will do that and much more. I hope you get this book and read it- you won't be sorry.

Excellent!!

'When God intrudes, may you always see it as glorious.' Joni helps us to view things from God's perspective. She reminds us to look beyond our circumstances to a God that is in control of everything. This is a lovely devotional. It is undated and could be used a small section at a time. It is ideal to give to somoene who is unwell and or stuggling with life.
