    Ravi Zacharias’ Long-Lost Song

    In this powerful book Ravi Zacharias, the great apologist of our time, diagnoses and offers the right medicine for anyone who may be disillusioned with life. We are disillusioned, he argues, because we have lost our sense of wonder, and that is a problem that has a cure. I heartily recommend this book to believers and seekers alike. Charles W. Colson Prison Fellowship Ministries

    NASHVILLE, TN — In Recapture the Wonder, Dr. Ravi Zacharias departs from his tradition of straightforward apologetics by reaching the mind through the heart. Dr. Zacharias says his newest book “summarizes what life is intended to be—the thrill of wonder and the irresistible urge to share it. Each of us has known a moment in which everything in life that is beautiful and overwhelming was suddenly crystallized into a bite-sized moment. Every sense was involved, almost like a convergence of all that is true and good and beautiful, so that you wished you could have frozen the moment and made it last forever.”

    Deep within all of us, there is a song. When we were children, the song was very loud. It was the song of wonder and amazement, the song of creation and the Creator. Then one day, we tragically became aware that we could no longer hear the song—it was overwhelmed by the increasing volume of possessions, busyness, ambition, and self-focused values. Our weariness and cynicism made the song just a nostalgic memory. Recapture the Wonder is for those who want to hear the song again, to recognize the beauty and the sweetness of life, to experience anew the wonder that once propelled them beyond the ordinary to a transcendent moment when life became suddenly mysterious, poignant, and filled with grace. It’s time to reclaim that awesome sense of wonder.

    But how do we encapsulate these moments of wonder, this all-encompassing awe of childhood that seemed to vanish when the worries of the world closed our eyes to the splendors of God’s creation? It is only through the touch of the Master Potter that we jars of clay can be refilled to overflowing with the abundance of His joy and delight of a truly fulfilled existence.

    Life is meant to be a celebration. God has imbued us with the unique ability both to dream and to pursue our dreams, and in Him our aspirations of ultimate fulfillment can find their fruition. It is His will for us to Recapture the Wonder of lives lived in reality but tuned to the enchanting and sacred—tuned to hear the song of the Creator and share it with the world.

    Recapture the Wonder is supported by an extensive and fully integrated marketing plan with an emphasis on radio advertising, print and broadcast publicity, and extensive Internet promotion. Recapture the Wonder will be advertised on the country’s leader in Christian radio, Salem Communications as well as the most visited Christian web site in the world, Crosswalk.com.

    “…Ravi Zacharias demonstrates that he is one of the most intellectually gifted as well as spiritually sensitive writers of today's leading apologists for the Christian faith.” -David Aikman, Time correspondent and author of Great Souls

    "There is no Christian apologist in the same league with profound understanding of both Eastern and Western thought as Ravi Zacharias.” -Dr. Michael Green
