That question can come across as either confrontational or instructional. Mark McKeehan does both in his new book, subtitled Understanding Your Identity in Christ.

In the Introduction he writes,

“Years ago, I asked myself this same question because the things I saw in my life didn’t match what I wanted. I wanted victory and joy (I read they were available in the Scriptures) and even though they were sometimes my experiences, victory and joy were not the default of life for me. I would come home from work and my wife would ask me, “How was your day?” I always felt like I said the same thing over and over, but it never seemed to be a “good day.” Why? My life was not terrible, and many good things were happening all around me. My marriage was great, my children were blessings, and our church was growing. As I thought and prayed, I knew the truth. The problem was me! This journey led me back to my original question, “Who am I?”

“I want to take you on a journey to find out who you are. I mean, isn’t that the age-old question? How many times have we thought, “Who am I and why am I here on earth?” You may be surprised that many people live with a false identity. Living with a false identity is a recipe for a defeated life. In the Gospel of John 10:10, Jesus says, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” We believe the first part but what about the second?…”

The book reads like Mark is sitting across the table from you at a coffee shop. We rejoiced that the it arrived from the publisher just in time for Christmas! The book is available in paperback and e-book from GFI and Amazon. We pray that it will be a blessing to many.
