You can comfort a mourner. You can volunteer your time. You can make a difference. You can give of your selfa self that is infused with godliness.

All human beings are made in the image of God. But for what purpose were you made? The biblical answer is clear: you are to imitate God in order to bring Gods presence into your life and the lives of others.
This practical guidebook to repairing the worldoften in simple everyday waysdetails the biblical accounts of what God does, not what God says: God creates, blesses, rests, calls, comforts, cares, repairs, wrestles, gives and forgives. For each of Gods actions, this provocative resource suggests what might be on Gods to-do list for you, the many ways you can make small and great differences in the lives of others and find the ultimate source of meaning for your own.
An inspiring gift to uplift your spirit and share with others, whatever your faith, you can do Gods To-Do List.
