Publisher's Description
Does God still like me if I’m good? Even people who grew up in the kingdom of God still have questions about their place in it. For those who aren’t a rebel or a prodigal, are they automatically the judgmental older brother? What does it mean for them if they are? And if God is happier about the one found sheep than about the ninety-nine others . . . then what if we’re the ninety-ninth? Through the short story “Henry”—a take on how the prodigal son story might have gone if there was a middle child—and chapters diving deep into questions of identity, belonging, guilt, and more, But What if I’m the 99th? gives voice to what often goes unasked in the church (and even more often goes unanswered). Biblically grounded and strikingly fresh, this book is a quirky, honest companion on the journey of finding who we are to God.

“But What If I’m the Ninety-Ninth? is unmistakably good news for anyone who carries guilt, shame, trauma, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, or is dogged by the question: Am I good enough? Myers tackles tough topics with theological depth and nuance, as well as great care and compassion for people and the burdens they carry. This book has the power to bring hope and healing to many, and to help many more grow in their understanding of others.”
