Instant New York Times Bestseller!

New York Times bestselling author and pastor Steven Furtick shows readers how to find their God-given identity and to grow into the person God designed them to be all along.

Do you ever get a glimpse of yourself that is exactly who you want to be, but always seems just out of reach? The happier, kinder, less stressed, more courageous you? The ideal version of you isn't imaginary at all. It's actually the authentic you trying to break through. And it’s not a future version of yourself you have to chase. The true you may be new to you, but  it’s not new to God. It's the you he knew all along.
 
In Do the New You, New York Times bestselling author and pastor Steven Furtick speaks directly to the challenge of living out your God-given identity and calling. He explores and unpacks six practical mindsets everyone can adopt to get from who you are today to where God is taking you. These six statements are truths you can speak over yourself any time and anywhere: 
 
• I’m not stuck unless I stop.
• Christ is in me. I am enough. 
• With God there's always a way and by faith I will find it.
• God is not against me, but he's in it with me, working through me, fighting for me.
• My joy is my job.
• God has given me everything I need for the season I’m in. 
 
These simple, powerful, memorable phrases will shift your focus, feelings, and actions to align with God’s vision of you. God isn’t just calling you to do you. He’s calling you to do the new you—the unique and powerful person he created you to be.

Editorial Reviews

12/11/2023

Readers should stop chasing a “shiny, perfect,” and ultimately unreachable “future you” and embrace the person “God created you to be,” according to this charismatic guide from pastor Furtick ((Un)Qualified). To become one’s truest, most authentic self, believers should work to align their mindset with “God’s vision for you” by coming to understand that “joy is my job,” that “I’m not stuck unless I stop,” and that “with God there is always a way, and by faith I will find it.” Elsewhere, Furtick astutely argues that self-acceptance can coexist with personal transformation: “You are loved as you are, but you don’t have to remain there.” He weaves in candid reflections on his own battles (“Accepting Jesus took a moment; accepting me is taking a lifetime”) and acknowledges that becoming one’s truest and most faithful self is an ongoing project. While readers seeking concrete tips may grow frustrated with Furtick’s pensive prose and tendency to rehash the same general takeaways, those hungry for spiritual succor will welcome his advice to stop “measuring yourself against an... unrealistic version of a person God didn’t create you to be,” and instead “step into what God already sees.” This inspires.
