4.0 out of 5 stars Transforming Book, September 13, 2004

By	Kerri Kenerson (Boulder, Colorado) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: TrueFaced: Trust God and Others With Who You Really Are (Hardcover)

TrueFaced is an excellent book in that it provides the reader with not only a concept to consider (the masks that we utilize to present certain, yet falsely construed individual personas) but also an attainable means of working towards a solution to the identified problem (through trusting grace, not works.) I found myself at peace after reading it, not because I was immediately transformed but because I knew that I could be and how.

Make sure not to put the book down if you don't find examples in the first half that you can relate to, the second half is much easier to identify with and well worth the read.

5.0 out of 5 stars serious stuff for the serious Christian, June 23, 2004

By	"michellerosko" (Pyoungtaek, Kyungkido South Korea) - See all my reviews

This review is from: TrueFaced: Trust God and Others With Who You Really Are (Hardcover)

TrueFaced has become one of my favorite books. the truths found in this book have brought me higher in my christian life than anything else. these authors tell us not to try to take care of our sins, but realize that Jesus has already done this on the cross. we must live, if we've accepted Christ's sacrifice, as though nothing, not even our sin issues, are hindering us from God. only pride, not trusting what God says, can hinder us from this peace. the Bible tells us countless times to live in the new life, to put away the old man. this is what it is talking about. God wants us to trust in Him, not take care of all of our problems. that will come later, He merely wants us to TRUST Him. what did we do in our salvation except believe? nothing. and we must live that even after our justification --that we have no power over our sin, and only God can take care of them. yes, some things are hard to be understood and pursued in this book, but the truth mentioned above and the learning of it is more than worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars An awesome book on authenticity, October 10, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: TrueFaced: Trust God and Others With Who You Really Are (Hardcover)

TrueFaced is an absolutely incredible book that every Christian should read. So many of us hide behind masks, hoping that people will love and accept us more if we act a certain way. And unfortunately, in the Christian community, being honest about who you are and what you're struggling with isn't usually accepted. This is a great book about God's grace and extending grace to other people. It's also very readable and I thought the authors were very humorous. I'm going to recommend this book to a bunch of my friends.
