Product Description

Robbed by relationships. Mugged by the mirror. Stolen by success. Pickpocketed by the past. When our identity is easily stolen, we become less than who we truly are. With humor, wisdom, and compelling stories, Mike Breaux helps us reclaim our identity in Christ—and the freedom, purpose, and joy that go with it.

From the Back Cover

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for Group Discussion, October 6, 2007

By	Alena Kelly (Georgia) - See all my reviews

As a small group leader at my church, I got this book to jump-start a six-week study and discussion on what the author terms spiritual "Identity Theft". Whether people are investigating church and God or are committed Christians, both can be victims to stolen joy. I know people who are still pained by their past, are obsessed about their appearances, are stressed about their success, or can't see that they are involved in an unhealthy, even "toxic" relationship. I'm hoping that hosting a study on this book will open real discussions and help people find (or restore) their true identity in Christ.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Theft Identity, October 28, 2007

By	Hilda A. Soares "Risingangel ^i^" (Virginia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
