The ABCs of a Treasured Life

Life is a special gift from God, and He gives it to each of us for a special purpose. However, people of every age and background sometimes struggle with how to go about becoming the best that God created each one of us to be. As a result, our lives seem less than complete, fulfilled, and short of God's intentions in creating us. This book offers practical steps rooted in the belief that Scripture lights the path that guides each of us to live the kind of life that pleases God - a life grounded upon acceptance, appreciation, commitment, goals, purpose, and vision. From the very first chapter, the reader is invited on an interactive quest to achieve the goal of a treasured life by exploring key concepts from a scriptural perspective. Memorable quotes and varied levels of questioning are then used for further engagement in introspective exploration. Each chapter includes activities designed to provide readers the opportunity for personal reflection, character development, and spiritual growth while also tackling the questions of where/how to start, what to do, and where to go for help on the journey toward a truly treasured life of their own. The features of this book include: 1. Easy to read chapters using an A, B, C approach. 2. Key Scriptures along with memorable quotes aligned with attributes and values discussed. 3. An interactive study with related resources for personal reflection or small group discussion after each chapter. 4. Space within the book to write responses, complete tasks and write notes. Benefits include: 1. Read as a daily devotional for inspiration, meditation and personal growth. 2. Discover important attributes and values for daily living as God intended as revealed in Scripture. 3. Develop life-changing strategies for interacting with and valuing others. 4. Become a person who appreciates the life that God has given you. 5. Learn how to add value to your life by following Jesus' example.
