Who Am I and What Am I Doing with My Life? Finding Stability and Purpose in Jesus (A Christian Guide to Identity in Christ, Offering Clarity and Confidence in Seasons of Doubt and Change)

"With remarkable warmth, wisdom, and generosity, Justin Poythress encourages readers to embrace a fullness of identity and purpose: a fullness unique to each person, yet one reflecting the fullness of the one who called each of us into being.” - Karen Swallow Prior, Author, You Have a Calling

“Identity crisis” might be too strong a phrase for what you’re feeling, but it’s close. Life isn’t going how you hoped, and you’re not sure of what to expect anymore. The core of who you are feels unstable, and you probably can’t even pinpoint why.

What you’re experiencing is identity pressure. 

With wit, wisdom and clarity, Justin Poythress helps you make sense of what you're feeling and offers a biblical path to lasting identity confidence by explaining… 

• How philosophy has impacted the modern understanding of self
• Why your identity feels shaky 
• How the Bible can transform your sense of self 
• Three principles for living in the identity Jesus gives you

When you build your identity in Christ, you'll experience clarity, discover your unwavering purpose and move forward with confidence.
