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.
