Discover how the unseen hand of God guides the multiple threads of our lives--our joys, our tragedies, and our daily humdrum--to weave a pattern of divine providence and meaning.
How differently would we live if we believed that every event of our lives--from the happy to the tragic to the mundane--was part of a beautiful and purposeful design in which no thread were wrongly woven? That's what bestselling author and internationally known apologist Ravi Zacharias explores in The Grand Weaver.
It's common to believe that great events such as a death or a birth are guided by the hand of God. Yet we can easily drift into feeling that our daily lives are the product of our own efforts rather than sovereignly directed.
This book brims with penetrating stories and insights that show us otherwise. From a chance encounter in a ticket line to a beloved father's final words before dying, from a random phone call to a line in a Scripture reading, every detail of life is woven into its perfect place.
In The Grand Weaver, Dr. Zacharias encourages us to examine our backgrounds, our disappointments, our triumphs, and our beliefs in a different light, explaining how they are all part of the intentional and perfect work of the Grand Weaver.

"Another excellent book by Dr. Zacharias. His understanding of Scripture is so strong that it compels me to study the Bible even more diligently. The book provides great personal stories, as well as a secure grounding in Scripture to illustrate his main point that God works all circumstances - our strengths, our shortcomings, our circumstances (etc.) - to achieve his ultimate purpose for our lives. Seemingly disconnected events, tragic circumstances, supposed "coincidences", are all seen through the lense of God's ultimate purpose for our lives. I highly recommend this book."

" beautiful weaving of words into a life with Christ. "
— Joan, 2/20/2014" It's amazing how God has weaved prosperity and suffering together to make a tapestry that glorifies him. This man has a profound mind and this is probably just the first of many of his books I will read. "
— Carrie, 2/17/2014" Enjoyed this one. Ravi is always intellectually stimulating and stretching. He does an incredible job revealing the hand of God in weaving Ravi into his wider purposes and then turns it around to challenge us to see where God might be involved in our lives so that he can weave us into His purposes also. "
— Glenn, 2/6/2014" Ravi Zacharias is an amazing author and speaker and I was not disappointed in this book. Through reading this book I once again was reminded that "The Grand Weaver" (God) continues to weave my lifes story and that nothing happens my chance. "
— Sally, 2/3/2014" As a work in progress myslf, I found this book to be very insightful. "
— Don, 2/2/2014" This book expands on an analogy explored in the autobiography Walking from East to West. God is the grand weaver of our lives, just as the grand weavers of India make special cloth for wedding Sari's, so God weaves the fabric of our lives. "
— Margaret, 1/27/2014" Not his best book, but it is still thought-provoking and affirming. "
— Gretel, 1/17/2014" Awesome book, tells biblical principles as to what we are created for "
