The Way I Was Made: Words and Music for an Unusual Life

Chris Tomlin, a songwriter known for many modern worship hymns, offers a book about finding purpose through faith. He begins from the idea that people are made for a meaningful life, and that this purpose is not centred on personal success, career or public recognition but on God and his glory. Mixing personal memories with the lyrics of his songs, Tomlin invites readers to see themselves as part of a larger story that points back to God. A study guide is included for small groups or individual readers who want to reflect on these themes at their own pace.
