Description

Who am I? This question confronts all of us, especially when we struggle with self-esteem and mental health. Sources all around us--from advertisers and politicians to caregivers, partners, friends, and others--tell us who we are or what we should be. Though often well-meant, their advice may be more harmful than they realize. Deceptive and destructive forces, from white supremacy to the primacy of financial capital, corrupt our sense of identity. Called to Being us back to our true identity as God's creatures, freeing us to explore our unique being in Christ.

Guided by biblical reflection, the science of psychosocial development, and a deep understanding of the ways society can undermine our identity, Drew Tucker's practical wisdom helps readers ground their self-worth in God's presence and promise. Readers will learn to live into their unique identities, establishing boundaries and recognizing the delightfully distinctive ways we each bear God's image. We are dynamic beings, continually growing in relationship with a God who adapts and grows with us. Tucker's thoughtful prose and reflection questions help readers apply these lessons to their lives.
