This book focuses on the connection between two stories: our personal life story and God's story in the world from a Christian perspective. These stories are interrelated. The book gives an inside view in this identity creating process in order to help the reader understanding her/his personal and collective “draft” for life. Through this book the reader gains inside a scientific research on narratives from a theological point of view and also goes through a kind of spiritual journey. By reading the book of creating of our own identity through our own story, challenges the reader what kind of scripts he/she uses, what makes an event special and other occasions less important, and how God is able to rewrite his/her story. Besides understanding our own way through creating process a personal “myths”, our metastory can be a part of God's ongoing story.

This book is written to those who work with life stories. The purpose of the book is to give a theoretical basis (theological reflection, psychological background, philosophical insides, ect.) to those who care for life stories, to those who want to gain “autobiographical competence” and help others in reflecting on their own lives.
