A tangible idea that I took away from the book deals with what Batterson calls lifesymbols. "Lifesymbols are all about seeing the purposes of God in our past experience." (p.60). He spoke of having actual physical reminders of times God has brought you through surrounding you in your home, office, etc. A specific example of his was an old bathroom sign from a movie theater where his church first met together for thirteen years. These symbols are meant to jog a spiritual memory. To remind the self "who I am and whose I am." (p.48). I want my family to do that! There are things we have already that do this, but I now would like to critically go through "things" displayed in my home and see whether they serve that purpose or not. What glory can be given to God if, as my family and I simply walk through our home, we are reminded of what He has done in our lives!
Overall, I would definitely recommend this book. It is a self-discovery book that more about God and less about self.
I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
