Who am I? It's a question we all ask ourselves at some point. Depending on the season we focus our identity on our job performance, marital status, personality type, or social network, among other options. However, there's a larger question to consider. Who does the Bible tell me I am in Christ? From the wisdom and perspective of insightful authors-including Jen Wilkin, Hannah Anderson, and Jen Pollock Michel-we'll seek to answer this question by: Exposing our false notions of identity; Understanding the biblical truth of our identity in Christ; and Reflecting on what it looks like to live in our new (and true) identity. In 10 chapters we'll cover everything from our identity as children of God to citizens of heaven. At the end of each chapter, study questions will facilitate group discussion as you consider this glorious truth with your friends. Join us as we explore how knowing who we are in Christ changes every aspect of our lives.

Winsome. Witty. Real Answers.

July 7, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Identity Theft, edited by Melissa Kruger, is an easy read. Winsome. Witty. And real. You won’t find evangelical jargon in its pages. Though we can’t fully understand the answer to who we are in Christ this side of heaven, this book contains solid answers I’ve never encountered or considered. I devoured it in one day. Highlighter and pencil in hand for notes in the margins. And there are many. I was not familiar with most of the contributors but I found myself looking them up online because what they wrote was so clear and helpful.

The Gospel Coalition has provided us with a resource that would be ideal for group study. Ten chapters. 137 pages. Memory verses and study notes at the end of each chapter. I will definitely read it again. —Deb Finnamore (David's wife; joint account)

I’m currently still reading this gem of a book. I connect well with the message and it has been helpful to process the author’s personal stories along with Scripture. I love the reflection questions as well.

Reads like a robust conversation over coffee with 10 wise friends

June 12, 2018

Format: Paperback

Throughout reading Identity Theft: Reclaiming the Truth of Who We are in Christ, I felt myself say aloud, Yes, uh-huh, that’s right over and over. It’s a great read for any woman who wants to grow in her understanding of who she is in Christ. We live in a time when pressures from our flesh, the world, and the Devil make it difficult to know and hold on to who we truly are. But this book winsomely establishes the truth and reminds the reader over and over of who God is and who we are in him.

The compilation of 10 chapters by 10 of my favorite writers makes it fun to read. Each chapter offers their unique voice and story on a specific identity theft issue. While their perspectives and personal application are unique to them, their teaching is all solidly unified in the Word of God. As readers, we repeatedly get the gospel, applied to different areas of life. The book reads like a robust conversation at a coffee table—each woman weighing in on a struggle or temptation that we all face and offering a Biblical response.

Identity Theft would be excellent to read with a group of women—just a couple or even a large group. I would recommend encouraging each gal to read one chapter a week and then take time throughout the week to memorize the provided memory verse and answer the discussion questions at the end of each chapter. It would lend itself well to a solid 10-week group study. Participants would be sweetly renewed in the truth of who they are in Christ by the end of the semester.

Be assured of who you are and who you can be!

Reviewed by Julia Nutter:

I highly recommend this book! I have very little time to read books right now, but I had been looking forward to picking up this book and am so glad I made time to read it. I love the format of it. Each of the ten chapters is written by a different author with their own unique stories and perspective, but the chapters remain uniform with the sections of Identity Theft, Identity Truth, and Identity Transformed in each. I really enjoyed the variety of women contributing to this book and it felt like having ten great spiritually rich conversations.
The chapters were a nice length that made it easy to pick up and read a chapter in between the busyness of daily life. There is a memory verse and discussion questions at the end of each chapter. I think this would be great to read with a group of women or to read and journal the answers on your own. Each chapter focuses on an area of a woman's identity and just like you shouldn't just read a book on decluttering your home straight through before acting on it, I think this is a book that calls you to read a chapter and then dwell on that area and what God wants for you in that part of your identity before moving on to the next chapter. So, though it can be read quickly, I would recommend taking time to savor the truths that are shared, dig into the additional scripture within the discussion questions, and commit the verse from each chapter to memory.
I see this as a great book to give to new and old believers to encourage, challenge, and clarify their identity in Christ and how to fully live that out in today's world. It was all of those things for me!

The best reminder we could ever be given

June 20, 2018

Format: Paperback

Who are you? Mommy, blogger, coffee drinker, hipster, fashionista, reformer, what's your identity? It seems everywhere we look we're having to define ourselves with a few descriptors, beckoning others to confirm our worthiness for a follow. Whether it's instagram or facebook, twitter or your own personal blog feed, all around us is the noise. It's the clamoring of the world, demanding we *define* ourselves in their terms.

What if you had to tell someone who you *really* are, how would you answer? Do you ever wonder how others would identity you? Maybe you need to be reminded of the gospel hope? Maybe you haven’t heard God’s glorious news for sinners. I invite you look inside this collection of authors as they explore what it means to BE IN CHRIST.

Gloriously theological and ever practical, these short 10 chapters are great meditations for personal or group use. Easily accessible, each chapter takes on the flavor of the contributing author, enriching the truth within while holding fast to the truth. It's the truth that if we are in Christ, we are His! That is our identity!

Each chapter is broken down focusing on Identity theft, identity truth, identity transformed. With bible centered questions at the end of the chapters, it can assist with small groups or discipling relationships. I encourage you to pick up a copy today and be reminded of the hope that lies in the truth that His love for you is based on *His* character, not yours. Praise God for that hope!
