Discovering Your Identity
"Who are you?" When someone asks that question, how do you respond?
Do you give your name, then describe what you do for a living? Most people answer this question with basic, superfivial information about their lives, but most Christians don't really know the truth about who they are.
You are a saint! If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, then this is the correct answer. And the term saint carries many layers of meaning, all of which is great news. The only right way to understand who we are is to see ourselves from God's perspective, as described in His Word.
This book will lead you through the many layers of understanding who you are in the eyes of God. You are a beloved child of God; you are the heir of God's inheritance; you are a member of the Body of Christ. In short, you are God's Masterpiece!

About the author
Charles F. Stanley
563 books695 followersDr. Charles F. Stanley is the senior pastor of First Baptist Church Atlanta, founder of In Touch Ministries, and a New York Times best-selling author who has written more than fifty books, and has sold more than nine million copies. He demonstrates a keen awareness of people's needs and provides Christ-centered, biblically-based principles for everyday life.
Charles Frazier Stanley was born September 25, 1932, in the small town of Dry Fork, Virginia. The only child of Charley and Rebecca Stanley, Charles came into the world during a time when the entire nation felt the grip of the Great Depression. To make matters worse, just nine months later, his father Charley died at the young age of 29.
However, Charles refused to let the Great Depression or the difficulties of his life define him. Instead, like his father and grandfather before him, he clung to God’s Word and took up the mantle to preach the gospel to whoever would listen.
Dr. Stanley’s motivation is best represented by the truth found in Acts 20:24, “Life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about God's mighty kindness and love.” This is because, as he says, “It is the Word of God and the work of God that changes people’s lives.”
Dr. Stanley’s teachings can be heard weekly at First Baptist Church Atlanta, daily on “In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley” radio and television broadcasts on more than 2,800 stations around the world, on the Internet at intouch.org, through the In Touch Messenger, and in the monthly, award-winning In Touch magazine.

In this 10 week Bible study, Dr. Stanley addresses how we should view ourselves since as believers we are "in christ". Good book for a Christian with low self esteem.
