Have you ever looked back over your life and realised that certain moments weren't coincidences at all?
Have you ever wondered whether the interruptions, the detours, or the unexpected turns were actually God trying to get your attention?
The God Who Pursued Me is the true story of a man who spent years drifting, resisting, stumbling, and searching - only to discover that God had been faithfully, patiently, and powerfully at work in his life long before he ever realised it.
What if the God you've been running from has been running toward you all along?
From a rebellious youth shaped by drug abuse, to miraculous healings, unexpected provision, heartbreak, restoration, and divine direction, Colin Williams shares a decade of encounters that reveal one central truth: God never gives up on His children.
Told with honesty, humility, and a gentle Australian warmth, this testimony doesn't glorify the past - it magnifies the God who rescues, guides, protects, and transforms. Colin's story is filled with moments where God stepped in through crisis, through strangers, through Scripture, through miracles, and through the quiet whisper of His Spirit.
More than a testimony - a journey you can walk through yourself
Each chapter concludes with:
• A Reflection - helping you pause and recognise God's hand in your own story
• Questions for Reflection - ideal for personal journaling or small groups
• Scriptures - grounding each theme in God's Word
• A Takeaway - a single sentence to carry with you into the week
This structure makes the book perfect for:
• new believers
• seekers exploring faith
• small groups
• men's and women's ministries
• anyone who feels they've wandered too far for God to reach
A message of hope for every season
Whether you're wrestling with your past, praying for your family, longing for direction, or simply needing reassurance that God still works in ordinary lives, this book will remind you:
• God hears the desperate prayer
• God answers in unexpected ways
• God protects when you don't even know you're in danger
• God provides before you know what to ask
• God restores what feels broken beyond repair
• God pursues - always
"I ran from God.
He never stopped pursuing me."
If you're looking for a testimony that is real, relatable, and rich with God's faithfulness, The God Who Pursued Me will encourage your heart and strengthen your faith - one chapter, one reflection, one miracle at a time.
Autorentext
Colin Williams has been a Christian since September 1994. Having been brought up in a Christian environment, he threw it all out of the window when he was fifteen years old, and it wasn't until he was nearly thirty that he stopped running from the Lord.
A father of six children now grown, and four grandchildren, Colin is now living on the mid north coast of New South Wales where he now spends his time writing or photographing local beaches and nature.
The one thing in life that he is most grateful for is that God has never let him down. He is living proof that God will never leave us nor forsake us, and Colin has experienced God's hand upon his life even in life's darkest moments. Just prior to giving his life to Jesus his first prayer was, "God, if I do this I want You to make Yourself real to me." This prayer God has honoured over and over again.
For many years Colin Williams has had the desire to write a novel, but it wasn't easy getting his first thoughts down on paper though. Fortunately, a close friend encouraged him and in 2018 he began the first chapter of his professional literary life. Since then, Colin has been working on his second book, The Start of Something Big, which he hopes to have published by mid-2023.
