Contents:
Who God says you are, and should be -- Faith transforms identity -- You are your body -- You are your history -- You are your relations -- You are your mind -- You are your commitments -- You are your actions -- You are your boundaries -- You are an ongoing process of change -- You are your future -- A final appeal for identity, that you become a person.
Summary: Who are you? For respected New Testament scholar Klyne Snodgrass, this is the most important question a person can ask--the question from which everything else in life flows. Other questions follow: What made you who you are? Who gets to say who you are? And--perhaps most vital--who does God say you are? In this book Snodgrass offers wise guidance to all who are wrestling with these universal human questions. He examines nine factors--including one's body, personal history, commitments, and boundaries--that shape human identity, and he expertly draws out what the Bible tells us about who God says we are, how we fit within God's purposes, and how our God-given identity can and must impact the way we live our lives. -- !c From back cover.
