Summary

Michael Howarth speaks of our constant search for identity, value and purpose. We have an almost insatiable need to feel valued and known, and it is clear that each of us looks for our identity outside of ourselves. Most of the ways we find our value and identity are temporal and insufficient; true rest only comes when we know our original "Definer." God answers mankind’s identity crisis by coming for us, dying for us, and restoring our connection to him. God relentlessly and continually displays that, to him, we are of immeasurable value.
