Our Lives Are Not Our Own: Saying "Yes" to God is designed to encourage personal reflection and create dialogue about Christian accountability. God's gracious act of love for us in Jesus Christ affects no only our salvation but also the choices we make in our lives. God calls us to the blessing of accountability, not the burden. How do we say "yes" to God with our time, financial resources, physical needs, relationships, and in our care for the environment? This readable and engaging book provides an even fuller articulation of the meaning behind the We Say Yes! stewardship program. As authors Melander and Eppley write, "God's saving act in Jesus does more than free us from the bondage of sin. God's act frees us for service to God, the community of faith, and the world. In loving gratitude to God for all that God has done for us, we live accountable both to God and to one another." Perfect for small-group use during your We Say Yes! stewardship campaign.

Enlightening,
By BJM (Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Our Lives Are Not Our Own: Saying ''Yes'' to God (Lutheran Voices) (Paperback)
I am teaching confirmation for the first time. I'm treaching one of the 5 promises. I have found the book to be great help in explaining service to my classes. It's amazing to realize how our lives are not our own. The book does a great job in explaining why and how to apply it to our whole lives. This book is one of the best references I found.
