Learning to Be You: How Our True Identity in Christ Sets Us Free

by David Swanson

We all want the confidence that comes from living out of our true identity, but how do we get there? We don't magically discover our true selves when we reach our twenties. And some of us spend our entire lives feeling like we are living a lie. We can be torn apart by our duplicity or we can become so comfortable with putting on various personas to suit our situation that we don't even realize we're doing it. But if we are followers and disciples of Christ, our identity is already decided. What we need to learn is how to understand and embrace it.

In this honest and penetrating book, David D. Swanson calls readers to take off their masks, discover the true source of their identities, and enjoy the peace and satisfaction that comes from being authentic and transparent to ourselves, our God, and the people who surround us. He gently leads readers from their hiding places to a life of conviction and courage.

A good book about finding your identity in the light of Christ, and its answering a lots of why's about feeling less that you are. Why lonely? Why empty? Why baggage? Well, if you find that you live in a way where you ask why of yourself in a downward way, then this book may be the inspiration you need - and it is a good starting point to put your life into perspective and help you endure and prevail.
