"God Chasers by Tommy Tenney. I was at a time in my life when I read that book, that I felt something was truly missing in my life. I knew I wanted more of God but did not know how to go about seeking him with my whole heart. After reading God Chasers, I had a fire deep within and used many of his steps to experience an intimacy and greater walk with God that still holds tighter now than ever! If you get to read that, I would then say, Get his sequel, God Catchers. What a blessing!"
