The Truest Thing about You: Identity, Desire, and Why It All Matters
These truths can identify you, your successes and failures, your expectations and disappointments, your secret dreams and hidden shames. But what if your true identity isn't found in any of these smaller truths, but in the grand truth of who God says you are? In other words, lots of things are true about you—but are they the truest?
David Lomas invites you to discover and live out the truth of who God created you to be: you are loved, you are accepted, and you are made in God's image. It's time to move beyond the lesser voices and discover why everything changes when you become who you really are.

“It’s been said that our identity is that which is identical about us in every situation. Identity. Identical.” (source)
“That cognitive dissonance—and heart dissonance—was at the center of my identity crisis.” (source)
“If you look at the world, you’ll be distressed. If you look within, you’ll be depressed. If you look at God, you’ll be at rest.’” (source)
“what identity in your life currently provides the most powerful dose of self-worth?2” (source)
“Building our identity on the foundation of what we have means that we’ll always be focused on ourselves. A world of self-focused individuals sounds strangely like the world we live in now … and it’s the lonely experience of living in that very world that sends us in search of something truer.” (source)
