Chasing After God: Surprised by Grace, Troy Champ
The Bible is filled with the accounts of men and women whose lives made an imprint on our world. Some loved God; some raged against him. But no one lived like King David.

In this series, we'll examine his unique relationship with his Lord, and discover for ourselves what it means to Chase After God.
