Ït's all about me". They all told us it was, didn't they? And we took them up on it. We thought self-celebration would make us happy.
But believing that has created chaos - noisy homes, stress-filled businesses, cutthroat relationships. We've chased so many skinny rabbits that we've missed the fat one: the God-centred life.
If you want to shift into high gear with purpose, this is it: life makes sense when we accept our place! Our pleasures, our problems, our gifts and talents - when they're all for the One who created us, we suddenly gain what we've been missing and find out what we've been seeking.

This book is seriously the best book that I have read in a long time. The title says it all: It is not about us, it is about God. This book really humbled me and made me realize what the true purpose of being a Christian is: to Honor God and show His glory. It is not about us; it is all about Him.

Lucado provides biblical advice about change and shares about God's love. He provides real life and fictional stories as examples to illustrate his points and always uses scripture to bring the point home. This book really changed my way of thinking. The writing style is perfect and the book cover is just gorgeous! This is a must read for anyone aged 16 and up (it provides advice about some adult situations). Show Less
