Summary of John Mark Comer's Garden City

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The first story in the Bible starts with God working and ends with him resting. The opening line is, In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

#2 The Bible describes God as a worker. He delights in his work, and he loves to share that joy with others. He doesn’t hate work, and he doesn’t create humanity to offload his work for him. Instead, he creates us to share in his joy.

#3 God created mankind in his own image, which means that we are all kings and queens. We were created to rule over God’s world.

#4 Humans are commanded to fill the earth and subdue it in the first chapter of Genesis. This can mean to exploit or enslave, or even to rape. But it can also mean to tame something that’s wild, to bring order out of chaos.
