Finding Ourselves in God’s Story

Why is the church so important to God? What's really going on in the Bible? How can I make sense of my life? Finding Ourselves in God's Story invites readers to join a conversation that covers questions about faith. It introduces Christian faith from an Anabaptist perspective and puts readers in touch with two stories that Christians are constantly hearing and telling. First, there is the Bible's story of God working to restore us--and all of creation--to wholeness. The center of this story is Jesus Christ, who lived, died, rose, and still lives--for us. The second story involves our own lives today. How do we connect with God's story? Where is God working in our lives? What will we do with Jesus' invitation to follow him? ? This book addresses the pressing questions and concerns that today's youth bring to their faith. Drawing on direct, honest discussions with Mennonite teenagers, young adults, and pastors, this guide engages groups in the conversations that matter most as it leads readers deeper into a faith that can become their own as they consider baptism or church membership.
