Real Identity

Author Thad Barnum leads his readers through engaging devotional reflections into the soul's most personal crossroads—those profound occasions where the Bible intersects a life. In each four-page reading, Barnum artfully connects the truth of Biblical story to his own (and ours), revealing and modeling the way of an authentic disciple.

In Real Identity, Barnum guides us at our own pace through key passages of Genesis, asking us to think deeply on some of life's biggest questions: Who is God? Who am I? And why am I? Likewise he challenges us to consider the implications of life's biggest answers: God hears. God cares. God acts on our behalf.

Begin the journey into an authentic holiness by discovering who you were created to be; and in the process find your own all-important intersection, where what you know meets how you live. For those who are tired of a superficial belief in God and the Bible, this transparently crafted book shines the light of Scripture upon a well-worn path, for all disciples who would be real.

THADDEUS BARNUM is senior pastor of Church of the Apostles in Fairfield, Connecticut, a Missionary Bishop in the Anglican Province of Rwanda, and a founding board member of The Mustard Seed Project. He is a graduate of Yale Divinity School and has previously published three books, including 2008's Never Silent.
