For me, reading Discover Your True Self re-affirmed that I better retain information pertaining to Christianity when I read books that go into specific details. I found that with this book in particular, I wasn’t retaining the information I was reading. It’s also good to read books like this so that you can better explain your beliefs in a way that most people can understand. I understand the need for books like this because a new Christian may need a simpler explanation of the new person that they have become and are becoming from believing in God. While reading this book I did find the explanations of each point to be very basic. I do agree with many of the points that Chip brings up in this book (the 75% of it that I did read). I got a little farther this time but I couldn’t bring myself to finish it. I DNF’d it once last year and thought I would give it one more chance again this year. But with this one I felt very unmotivated to finish it. frees you from comparing yourself with othersĪre you ready to see yourself as God sees you? Then let Chip Ingram show you how to silence the lies of your past and experience your true identity.

In this Scripture-soaked book, he shows you how getting God's perspective

Pastor and author Chip Ingram wants to open your eyes to your true self, the 'new you' that God sees, the person who is immeasurably valuable and beautiful. But according to the first three chapters of Ephesians, that's not how God sees us at all. The lies of our past keep us stuck, struggling with the same issues and habits for years. Yet most of us look at ourselves with warped mirrors, believing lies that lead to shame, guilt, fear, insecurity, and spiritual stagnation. Seeing yourself as God sees you is essential to overcoming your deepest struggles, having healthy relationships, living in freedom, and fulfilling your life purpose.
