ReCreatable begins with the story of a glass baking dish, the delectable aroma of tantalizing brownies, and an unseen defect that turns the promise of something delicious into a minor disaster, leaving glass fragments and brownies irretrievably intermingled. Both the dish and brownies are irrevocably lost.
The implications for us are inescapable: created by God to reflect his glory and for his pleasure, we have been broken by sin to the point that we are completely useless to accomplish the purpose for which we were made. But, unlike the shattered brownie dish that gets discarded as worthless, God takes the shards of our lives and does the miraculous. He does not simply fit us back together. He takes those splinters of our destruction and uses them to re-create us: complete, restored, redeemed, and fitted to do and be all that he ever intended for us.
ReCreatable leads us progressively through the impact of the creative genius of God in our lives. It points us to the reality of restored relationships, the resurrection of our role as true reflectors of God's glory, and the revolutionary life that can be ours when we learn to be true disciples--created to live well for God.
My Review:
This was a great story about picking up the broken pieces and believing in yourself again. Once you are able to do that, then you will be able to trust in faith and God again. I liked that there were Reflection notes and next steps at the end of each chapter. I really enjoyed the analogy of having to learn to walk. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
