Are you tired of trying to be someone you’re not? Being Real > Being Perfect is an inspiring rallying cry for Christians to let go of pretending and instead enjoy a freeing, authentic relationship with Jesus and others.
Many of us spend a lot of energy—especially at church—trying to hide the fact that we’re struggling. We can’t share our marriage problems. Our addiction. Our sense of distance from God.
In Being Real > Being Perfect, Justin Davis reminds us that God can’t heal what we don’t admit is broken. As he vulnerably shares his own story of redemption, Justin helps us Why being real with ourselves, God, and others leads to peace and hope How faking perfection robs us of the transformative power of grace What the Bible says about insecurity and identity Step-by-step ways to overcome our fear of being vulnerable If you’re tired of trying to prove yourself, if you’re tired of wondering where the real “you” went, if you’re tired of knowing information but not experiencing transformation—discover the vibrant spiritual life you long for as you embrace the truth that being real is greater than you can imagine.
Such a refreshing, authentic, biblical read. Davis doesn't just tell the reader how to be real and transparent, he shows us how to do it through his own stories. He's not afraid to take off the mask and show what's really going on in his life, marriage, and heart. He doesn't shy away from tough topics such as shame, fear, people-pleasing, identity, and so much more.
I think we often say we want to be authentic, but rarely do we get to see it modeled in such a helpful way. Better Real truly is so much greater than being perfect.
