This handbook is intended to be used in a group setting as a companion to Brenda's instruction. Videos are available at www.brenda-mitchell.com. What does God want from me? Maybe a better starting point would be, "What does God want from us ?" Starting at the very beginning of the Bible and progressing through to the very end, God offers increasing hints about why he made humans in the first place. When you put it all together, a picture is revealed that ought to cause us to think differently about God, about ourselves, and about each other. Learning to think in terms of God's ultimate intentions will bring dignity to our everyday lives and cause us to love one another in ways that are life-giving instead of burdensome. We'll discover "the thing God wants most" through seven explorations: The Bible as a single story and how it all points to Jesus The seven "sanctuaries" of the Bible, revealing what God wants Multi-faceted metaphors that flesh out our identity What drives us apart and what binds us together Our status and vocation as God's imagers Why some people work so hard to be difficult Being good humans (for those who aren't superheroes)
