Identity Theft: Reclaiming Who God Created You to Be [Hardcover]

Mike Breaux (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 18, 2007

Identity theft. We all know the damage it inflicts---or do we? There's a kind of identity theft that goes far deeper than our financial records. It impoverishes our souls and keeps us from experiencing the richness in life God intends for us. Have you been ... * Robbed by Relationships? * Mugged by the Mirror? * Stolen by Success? * Pickpocketed by the Past? Mike Breaux exposes the four 'identity thieves' that steal our sense of who we truly are and render our lives diminished versions of what they were intended to be. We were never meant to be chameleons, changing into whatever we need to be in order to gain love and acceptance. We were created for more---much more---than the way we look, what we accomplish or fail to accomplish, and the sum of our past rejections, failures, and wounds. The good news is that no matter how they were stolen, our identities are retrievable. With trademark humor, compelling stories, and down-to-earth wisdom, Mike Breaux shows how we can reclaim our deep, God-given identities and live freely, purposefully, and joyously out of a renewed knowledge of who we truly are.

Identity Theft is an easy read and puts our big world of marketing in perspective. Good book for examining self worth and realizing who God made us to be. Read only if you want to improve your spiritual walk.

Enjoyed this book tremendously. It is a book based off scripture that tells you how to not lose your identity in this world to material things.

Teaches you how to reclaim the person God meant you to be, and not depend so much on the world and set your sights on heaven.

It a very good read especially for those who may have lost who they are. People who are caught up in someone else's identity.
