(as of – Details)
Come and see that our purpose as Christians is not about being useful but about being known by God and enjoying him.
We all want to be useful to God, but often we feel that were not, or, because of illness or other difficulties, that we cant be as active as wed 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 isnt 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 Gods 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 its 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.
From the Publisher
Liz Carter
Liz Carter is a writer and poet who lives in Shropshire, UK, with her vicar husband and their children. She suffers with a chronic lung condition which sometimes puts her in hospital or prevents her from leaving the house for days or weeks. But she is passionate about Jesus and the hope that he brings! Her other books include Catching Contentment: How to be Holy Satisfied and Treasure in Dark Places, a collection of poems and stories.
Sarah Walton, Author, Hope When It Hurts
“Liz Carter offers a fresh and needed voice. To the one who feels useless, the pages of this book will remind you of where your true worth is found.”
Eric Schumacher, Co-author, Worthy: Celebrating the Value of Women
“Valuable is paradigm-shifting—a challenging and freeing approach to our relationship with God.”
Sam Hailes, Editor, Premier Christianity magazine
“[Valuable] exposes Christian culture’s misplaced obsession with usefulness. Utterly convincing in its arguments, it presents an infinitely more wholesome vision of what God has created us to be.”
Helen Thorne, Director of Training and Resources at Biblical Counselling UK
“In this engaging book, there is encouragement to think about our language, run back to Scripture and reassess the vocabulary of God ‘using’ us. It is thought-provoking, heart-searching and conversation-starting.”
