Is it possible for a simple, childlike toy, such as a kaleidoscope, to give hope, clarity, and meaning to all of the broken and shattered pieces of your life? In Kaleidoscope, Kelly Wiese deconstructs this simple yet complex toy by using each piece to illustrate how God is constantly at work, beautifully and carefully orchestrating a masterpiece with every aspect of your existence. In this unique and thought-provoking Bible study, you'll be challenged to see things from a fresh new perspective through the use of scripture, Bible stories, and real-life experiences. Kelly Wiese will walk you through each of the parts of a kaleidoscope, shedding new light on how each piece can help you to see beauty in your life and current situations that may seem painful or confusing otherwise. She then goes into depth discussing ways to stay connected and focused on God that will give you strength and guidance during the stormy transition periods of life as well. Each section is followed by study and personal application questions to further help you reflect upon and drive home the illustrations and stories she writes about. Kaleidoscope will leave you yearning to draw closer to God on a daily basis and help you see that everything you go through and experience in life is as unique and individual as the collection of colorful pieces inside of a kaleidoscope, with every scene adding up to one final masterpiece, handcrafted by our Heavenly Father.
