The marginalized and the ostracized; the sinner and the loner; you, me...and Jesus. We're all outsiders sometimes. Each of us has felt lonely in a crowd, or been passed over for a job opportunity, or been squeezed out by "friends". We've all spent time on the outside looking in. But take heart - Jesus will leave the 99 just for you.

Best-selling author Ken Gire weaves together stories from the Bible, history, and his own life to create a soul-lifting picture of a God who relentlessly pursues the outcast and disenfranchised - a God who became an outcast himself.

The Divine Embrace is an invitation to a more intimate relationship with Christ. Using the movements of the "Emperor Waltz" as a metaphor for the Christian life, Ken Gire invites listeners to enter into the joy and the freedom of the dance to be held in the Lord's arms, to feel his presence and touch in their lives, to be embraced by the one whose love for them knows no end. Gire urges Christians to pay close attention to God's gifts and callings and not to take them for granted.
