Who Am I, Lord?: Finding Your Identity in Christ

The question "Who am I?" is on the minds and hearts of people of all ages. And for good reason. Who we are - or who we think we are - drives our actions and shapes our relationships. We are asking the right questions about our identity, but the world is feeding us the wrong answers: We are our political party, job title, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity. Until we know why we were created, by whom, and for what purpose, we can never be truly satisfied. In Who Am I, Lord?, author Joe Heschmeyer tackles the question of identity by asking two even more important questions: Who is Jesus, and who does he say you are? Our identity in Christ opens us to his promises and brings us the freedom to be who we were created to be. "The early Church wrestled with Christology - who was Jesus? The sixteenth-century Church wrestled with ecclesiology - what is the Church? But today's most pressing challenge is anthropology - who am I, as a person? … With so many young people today existentially lost … this book shows the way out, offering a profound reflection on who we really are and how that shapes our destiny." - Brandon Vogt, author of Why I Am Catholic and founder of ClaritasU
