Embraced - Becoming Who You Are in Christ

by Erica Dean

Book Image Not Available Book Image Not Available
Overview
What is your true identity? We all can be identified in many ways and some of us live our whole lives without even questioning the things that define us. Bombarded with messages from our culture telling us who we are or who we should be, we can build our identity on a myriad of things: a bank account, good looks, career, talents, ministry, friends, family. But the problem with defining ourselves by these ‘descriptions’ is what happens when they are no longer true about us. If you are a follower of Jesus, the truest thing about you is that you are embraced, loved and accepted by God. Through scripture and narrative, Erica Dean shares how we can joyfully live this truth and become who we are in Christ. Proceeds from the sale of this book go to Forever Found, a nonprofit Christian organization founded to support the rescue and restoration of victims of child trafficking and prostitution.
