Many
of us establish our identity based on what others say about us or
what the current culture convinces us is true. But the most reliable
source for establishing identity is God. He knows us intimately,
better than we know ourselves. He has the authority to define us like
no one else does.
We
Christians need to create the foundation of our identity from what
the Bible says is true of us. To help us do that, the Kendricks take
readers through the major concepts in Ephesians. We find there the
reality of who we are in Christ. The authors identify the truth about
us and help us integrate that truth into our lives. They also teach
us how to stand firm during tough times, knowing who we are at the
core.
This
is a good book for teens and Christians not too familiar with the
Bible. The writing style is easy to understand and not academic in
nature at all. The authors include good story illustrations of the
lessons they give. It would be a good book for a teen study.
Discussion questions are provided at the end of the book.
My
rating: 4/5 stars.
