Have you ever wondered: Why am I alive? Why did God bring me into existence, especially onto this sin-filled earth during this troubled time in history? Why doesn't God just take me home to heaven - now! - so I can never feel pain, loneliness or sadness again? If you or anyone you know has asked these questions, you will be thrilled to discover the answer! The Bible tells us the top reason we are alive, and this reason helps us live each day with purpose and enthusiasm. The rest of your life can be an adventure.

we do this? Judges 8-12
