Do you ever wonder what your next step should be? If there is more to life? Do you crave something better? More than security or wealth success or popularity, what we really need is to be loved, to matter. But with all our inner strength and the world's create-your-own destiny attitude, with all our technology and know-how and savvy, we are helpless to truly satisfy that craving on our own. God's intention was never for us to have a dissatisfied, self-critical spirit. In His eyes, each of us is irreplaceable, carefully crafted, designed for a unique and noble purpose. And He is determined to reach us. Throughout the ages, amid all of the world's selfish rebellion, unthinkable corruption, ugly swirl of violence, and abject godlessness, the Lord God has shown that He works in a consistent and beautiful way. He draws close to us. He enters our existence. God reaches into our lives, turns us around, and fulfills every desperate, yearning, miserable need. God offers us grace. Pure, lavish, unending grace. Discover the life you crave.Features:Discussion questions for each chapterAccessible to all people of all faithsAnecdotes from contemporary everyday life, history, and the BibleDirects reader to apply Scripture to his or her life
