Identity is one of the
primary struggles for people. Through childhood, we dream up what we want to be
when we grow up. In college, we're forced to narrow that list down to something
practical. Then through our adult lives, we spend our time, money, and energy
pursuing the identity we have chosen for ourselves.
What do companies like Nike, Under Armor, Burberry, L’Oreal, Apple, and
Kitchen Aid all have in common? They will all sell you an identity.
In his book “Who Do You Think You Are?” Mark Driscoll examines how
Christians have identities that are founded in Christ and what that means for
our everyday lives.
What I love the most about Driscoll’s writing is how rich it is with
information. It took me more time to read this book than I had anticipated
because I wanted to continually stop and reflect on the ideas that Driscoll
presented.
Without a doubt, if we are able to firmly focus on our identities in
Christ, we can move past the fears, insecurities, and hindrances that prevent
us from fulfilling that God has placed on our lives.
Mark Driscoll’s book is timely and relevant for Christians today. A
wealth of insight and information, you will continually find yourself
reflecting on your own identity and your relationship with Christ.
