The Bible says that Satan prowls around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Satan hunts us. The Bible also proclaims that God calls us out of the darkness and into his glorious light. God calls us.

So why don’t more people step out of the oppressive darkness and into the beautiful light that God has waiting for them? Mankind has been sold a bad bill of goods, which says that God is a distant, unapproachable, impersonable, harsh being in the sky who only wants to judge us and send us to hell.

Simply put, most people fail to see Him as the loving Father who sent His Son, Jesus, to give his life so that He can have a relationship with us. In Hunted and Called, author Joe Stehlin wants you to know God for who He really is, rather than what the world says He is. If we fail to see God as the loving Father who gave his Son to reestablish a relationship with us, then we cannot recognize all the other aspects of his character. i.e., He wants to be our Shepherd, to heal us, and walk with us, to bring us peace and righteousness, and provide for our needs.

Throughout this book, Stehlin’s stories will empower you to see the places in your life where God is leading, healing, redeeming, and speaking to you. We are all simultaneously being hunted and called, and we are all unfinished stories as long as we are alive and breathing. It’s time to step out of the darkness and into the brilliant, light-filled story God has written just for you!
