Where do I belong? Since our earliest days, humans have sat around tribal fires and told stories about where we came from, where we are going, and how we belong. We want to have the answers to those big questions of life and share them with others. This desire is deeply built into us and the glow of that tribal fire is still enticing. We long to find our tribe and to fit in with others like us. So, even when we scratch the itch of tribalism, why do we burn for something else? By looking at creation, families, church, and the hope of heaven, Andy Percey shows us that we were never made to just fit in; God created us to belong to him and each other in the truest and deepest way possible. If you are asking these questions around the fire, this book is your invitation into relationship, partnership, companionship and belonging.
