Overview

Christ is not only the greatest gift of all time, he also gives each of us a gift - a special thing just for us. Our growing relationship with God involves finding out what our gift is and using it in every circumstance God places us in. For through our special gifts, God blesses others, both within and outside the Church.

This exhilarating 5-session course, which may be used during Lent or at any time of the year, draws wonderfully on the skills Olivia Amartey learnt as a senior leader in the NHS. This was God's training ground for her and involved 'turning on a sixpence' in the midst of numerous crises. Olivia has much to share about developing flexibility, wisdom and maintaining a sense of fun amidst the topsy-turviness of life, as we embrace the adventure we are on with Christ - as close to us as breathing, and rooting for us all the way.
Challenging yet full of hope, the course covers:

Session 1: The generosity of God

Session 2: Discovering our gift and responding

Session 3: Being with Jesus and becoming fruitful

Session 4: When things go wrong and ways of staying on track

Session 5: It's all good - how God changes everything

The course booklet is accompanied by a lively CD/DVD, in which Olivia Amartey and guests from various denominational backgrounds, put forward their thoughts on the themes of the course.
