Free To Be Me
Wouldn’t it be brilliant to be free? To have nobody telling you what to do. Imagine if you didn’t have to keep to rules set by somebody else. You could do your own thing. Be your own person. Dream your own dreams.
In Free To Be Me, Tim Hawkins explains that true freedom is only found at the cross of Jesus. It is there that God breaks you free from the guilt of sin and releases you for a life of joy.

Since giving up his job as a grocery truck driver in 2002, Tim Hawkins has been forging the magical blend between two comedic ideals: A genuinely funny comedy show that caters to the entire family. Is it realistic? Hawkins believes so. With over 100 million views on YouTube, 120+ sold out shows every year, and a motley crew of 200K+ Facebook fans, Tim has started a gut-busting grassroots revolution of multi-generational proportions. But what's so special about this St. Louis native who is most notorious for his wretched cow impersonations?
Some would say it is his equally gifted and twisted approach to the medium. A self-taught guitarist, Hawkins will go note-for-note on everything from Skynyrd to Bon Jovi to Prince, while dishing out flawless vocal imitations of Bono, Jason Aldean, and John Mayer... all within mere minutes. His stand-up material is vigorous, well-timed, and honed to perfection. However, the connection he makes with his fans goes deeper than that: "If you can't laugh at yourself, laugh at other people."* It is this ability to show the brokenness of our human nature and simultaneously marvel in its hilarity which makes Tim such a unique artist.
With four munchkins of his own and a beautiful wife who is winning her battle with breast cancer, Hawkins develops new material daily by simply absorbing the world around him. The perils of marriage, parenting, and homeschooling may not exemplify the rock-star life, but they sure make for great comedy. And as Tim would tell you himself, "It's not like I have choice. Comedy is my only life skill."

This is one of the best spiritual books I have read so far. It beautifully teaches about the unconditional love of God, that no matter who you are or what you do, you are free, loved, valued, and cared for.

Amazing book on how your longed-for freedom comes through the death of Christ and the cross alone. It shows how the death releases you from sin.
