Jarrid's pursuit of God is contagious! His passion for Jesus and
people is so evident in all he does. He's the real deal. Not sure
how to pursue God yourself? Going through a dry season in your
relationship with Jesus? Want to sent your heart on fire even more
for God? Spend the next 30 days with Jarrid pursuing our wondrous
God.
--Adam Weber, lead pastor, Embrace Church (Sioux Falls, SD); author
of Talking With God
We all need some "wonder" in our daily experience with God. We are
all looking for a fresh newness in our pursuit of God, and this is
where Jarrid has given us a great gift. After spending time in the
pages of Wondrous Pursuit, I leave with a sense of freshness, awe,
and knowing, in the deepest parts of my soul, how wondrous the
pursuit of God truly is. This is such a fresh word to those in dry
places and to bring hope to the work of Jesus in our lives daily.
Thank you, Jarrid!
--Josh Hawk, pastor, The Move Church (Nashville, TN)
Our souls were made to pursue and be pursued by God. This isn't a
one-time thing or something we move on from. It is a daily
discipline of spending time with Jesus. They say it takes 30 days
to build a habit, and Jarrid is giving you an incredible tool to
help you build a habit of pursuing God in response to his pursuit
of you.
--Stephen Miller, author of Liberating King and Worship Leaders, We
Are Not Rock Stars
Jarrid invites us into a journey of not just more information about
God but a wondrous pursuit of the heart of God that brings
transformation. Wondrous Pursuit is a devotional that will allow
you to discover God's love and be changed by it.
--Justin Davis, coauthor of Beyond Ordinary: When a Good Marriage
Just Isn't Good Enough; founder of RefineUs Ministries; pastor at
Hope City Church (Indianapolis)
Faith should be a buoyant force that lifts us into the
stratosphere, but it is often a millstone that sinks us to the
depths. Jarrid Wilson reminds us that faith is easier than we
assume, that grace is freer than we believe, and that God is more
majestic than we know. If you're worn out from striving for God's
affection, then Wondrous Pursuit is for you. It will liberate you
with this stunning truth: When you decide to chase after the
Almighty, you will discover that you are already home.
--Jonathan Merritt, contributing writer for The Atlantic; author of
Jesus is Better Than You Imagined
There is no more wondrous pursuit than the life that God has for
you. Jarrid Wilson knows that and has been on that pursuit. This
devotional will be an encouragement and guide from an experienced
traveler. I could not be more excited for all who will go on this
journey.
--Chuck Booher, senior pastor, Crossroads Christian Church (Corona,
CA)
In Wondrous Pursuit, Jarrid Wilson takes the reader on a journey of
the heart, mind, and soul. His words are timely and his approach is
accessible. The devotions are a daily feast for the spiritually
hungry. Anyone who desires to shape their lives by the natural
rhythms of God's love and grace will find Jarrid a helpful guide
and his writings a road map to a deeper life in Jesus.

Trivial Pursuits: Why Your Life is More Than Media, Money and the
Pursuit of Happiness
Hopefully all of us have people in our lives whom we experience as
a breath of fresh air. For me, Jarrid Wilson is such a person.
Jarrid is a young leader who is wise, generous, humble and kind
beyond his years. Beneath his handsome exterior lies a childlike,
old soul, in the best sense of the word. He is keenly in touch with
the human condition. He knows, and cares deeply, that people are
lonely, disconnected and much afraid, and is not afraid to move
into those spaces with presence and encouragement. And yet Jarrid
is no cynic. More than just about anyone else I know, he is a young
man filled with wonder: wonder at the image of God in every person,
and wonder at the grandeur and grace of God Himself. In this
approachable little book, Jarrid invites us to share in that
experience of wonder. Pick it up. Commit to reading it over a
period of time. I think you'll be glad that you did.
--Scott Sauls, senior minister, Christ Presbyterian Church
(Nashville); author of Jesus Outside the Lines and Befriend
It is in the daily pursuit of God where we feel most alive, for it
is there that we encounter why we were created. Wondrous Pursuit
will stir a hunger within you to know God more and draw you closer
to Jesus as you walk daily with Him. I'm grateful that Jarrid
Wilson has taken the time to invite us into a deeper journey with
God.
--Banning Liebscher, founder and pastor of Jesus Culture; author of
Rooted
It seems to me that there are two great characteristics of those
who remain steadfast in faith and love: rest in the Gospel, and
desperation for Jesus. These twin factors keep us rooted in grace
and longing for the beauty to which such a gift summons us. My
friend Jarrid Wilson has penned a devotional that will reinforce
both of these qualities, his words pointing us to the Scriptures
and then, through their testimony, to the One who is our life.
Let's face it: We get weary at times, and our hearts can grow cold.
When that occurs, our souls need a merciful wakeup call, followed
by a sustained course in gospel grace and Jesus-focused
discipleship. That's what Wondrous Pursuit provides. Don't just
enjoy it; hear it! And let these pages ignite your heart for a
fresh pursuit of the Holy.
--David Patrick Cassidy, lead pastor, Christ Community Church
(Franklin, TN)
Jarrid is a thoughtful young man who is asking important questions
and offering insightful answers.
--Jamie George, pastor, Journey Church; author of Love Well and
Poets & Saints
A. W. Tozer said, "To have found God and still pursue Him is the
soul's paradox of love." In every generation, there are people who
feel this tug on their heart, people with an inner longing, who
spend their days on a soul's pursuit of the only One who can
satisfy. Jarrid Wilson writes for a new generation who sense this
inner longing for The Wondrous Pursuit, and cry out with the
Psalmist, "My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I
go and meet with God?" (Psalm 42:2)
--Matt Brown, evangelist; author of Revolutionaries and Awakening;
founder, Think Eternity
Pursuing God is crucial for everyone--whether someone exploring the
Christian faith or someone who has been studying things of God for
years. In Jarrid Wilson's wonderful new devotional, you'll find
thought-provoking passages of Scripture paired with insightful
commentary. This devotional will take you further on the journey of
pursuit!
--Shaunti Feldhahn, social researcher; author, For Women Only
I have read and been spiritually challenged by all of Jarrid's
books. Reading his books has always demanded a personal response.
They've forced me to take my spiritual walk with Jesus seriously.
Wondrous Pursuit was certainly no different. The daily devotions
are a reminder of who Jesus is and who we can be through him.
Anyone who is looking to be shaped daily by God's promises should
read this book.
--Jeff Huxford, MD, blogger at Finding Normal (JeffHuxford.com)
Jarrid Wilson is a creative, Jesus-loving, pioneer of the Christian
faith. This devotional will not just encourage some but inspire
many to live out their God-sized dreams and callings in life. I
encourage others to utilize this study to dive deep into God's Word
and truly pursue His best in their lives!
--Josh Husmann, lead pastor, Mercy Road Church (Carmel, IN)
