VALUABLE:
Why your worth is not defined by how useful you feel
By Liz Carter
Good Book Company. 143 pages. £8.99
ISBN 978 1 784 988 661 

There are lots of books about identity. This one is a bit different.

It is a careful reflection of what makes us valuable to God, ourselves and others. Liz Carter challenges the script that suggests that our identity is wrapped up in our usefulness. Instead the author points us to the wide sweep of the Biblical narrative to demonstrate that our value is rooted in the fact that we are loved by God.
