Perhaps God wants us to understand something more through our identities as sons and daughters, our identities as husbands and wives, our identities as brothers and sisters, and our identities as fathers and mothers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Relational God\u003c\/em\u003e considers our common experiences in these relationships and then looks at Biblical narratives which challenge and support those experiences. The book then distills down the Biblical commands for each of those relationships to determine what doing them right might teach us about the nature and character of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat we discover is that God created these relationships--and the rules which govern them--to serve as living metaphors that reveal truths about Himself. He wants these relationships to thrive, because, when they do, they reflect the very nature and character of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven J.
