"What's my point?" and "What's my place?" Or put another way, the questions of Identity, Purpose, and Mission. If you're tired of the storylines of our day, and want to understand how your passions, gifts, longings, and your very being find their fulfillment in the One Story, So, What's Your Point? will take you there. Just make sure your seats and tray tables are in the upright and locked position!

Best part of the book is Frans identity ladder. His analysis of identity is comprehensive and thought provoking!

So, I really wanted to get into this and just love it, but I cant. I did read the whole thing mind you but didn't enjoy it very much towards the end and here is why. History. I love History but there is a little to much back history or word history to explain all the tiny parts of the story he was telling. Also after awhile I felt like it was starting to drag, a lot. Its only 254 pages if you don't read the extras in the back. But it started dragging after around 160 or so. Not saying it was horrible, but it was not by any means my favorite.
I received this for review through Tyndale House Publishers

This book was a hard read as there are many truths proclaimed and at times it felt a little stream of consciousness. However, if you can get past that the message within the book is one of encouragement and challenge.

Sciatica calls us to remember the world is not about us, it is about God. We are called to be Story dwellers to bring the message of reconciliation to those around us.

Dense, but worth the read. It changed my perspective on what the gospel points to as the purpose of humanity.
