We all want to be useful to God, but often we feel that we're not, or, because of illness or other difficulties, that we can't be as active as we'd like to be. Liz Carter wants to rescue us from the spiral of feeling useless that we get caught in, and to show us that being useful isn't what Christianity is about. In fact, the Bible barely talks about God using people at all. Weaving together insightful scriptural analysis and beautifully told stories, Liz takes us on a journey to see what the Bible really says about weakness, identity and God's purposes for us: helping us to see ourselves and our relationship with God in an entirely different and much more glorious way. Readers will discover that our purpose as Christians is not about being useful but about being known by God and enjoying him. This book is particularly helpful for those struggling with long-term physical or mental illness, but it's also a great encouragement to Christians who feel that they are not good enough or useful enough to God for other reasons. Questions at the end of each chapter make this a helpful resource to read with a friend or in groups.

Beautiful gift for anyone who is not feeling useful
This thoughtful book helps to remind us of our core identity as beloved children of God, who don't have to earn our salvation by being useful, and achieving lots of stuff. I can think of friends who struggle with ongoing illness and other issues that would greatly benefit from this reminder, but it is an important message for us all, in a society that values people for what they contribute. Would probably recommend it more for women than men, it is a good reminder to not show partiality and love all people as Imago dei.
