Have you ever asked, “Who am I?” Do you long to know yourself, the world, and God better and thrive in all of life’s many transitions? Author Bob Flanagan says we here are on earth not just to live but to thrive. We can know who we are and how to live in this “crazy, beautiful world as a follower of Jesus and a child of God.” We do that by relating well to ourselves and others, the world and its various creatures and places—and God. “We thrive when we relate to who and what is around us in a healthy manner. We can discover ourselves—who we are—in beautiful, elegant, hope-filled, positive ways,” says Flanagan. This unique, six-week Bible study has thirty-six lessons to help you know your true self and learn a new way of being as a child of God as you examine the family connections and relationships with others and the world. Self-discovery tools such as directed Bible readings with commentaries, daily prayers, and links to poems, art, and music will facilitate personal growth and provide fresh insights. This book is eminently useful … giving us multiple ways into its project, the complex and holy discovery of one’s true self. —The Rev. Barbara C. Crafton
