The Search for Me: A Journey Toward a Rock Solid Identity
By Bob Santos
Why have I seen so little change in my life since I came to Christ? Why does God seem so judgmental? Why am I addicted to the need for human approval? What does God expect of me? These might be just a few of the nagging questions you find lingering in the back of your mind. Little do we realize how many of our struggles are tied to our sense of identity.
Growth happens in the roots, not merely on the surface! The Search for Me identity series will take people deeper–deeper in their walk with God, deeper in the Scriptures, deeper in their relationships, deeper into freedom from the dominion of sin. This personal journey of discovery is not to be taken alone, but together with others hungry for truth and change.
Every Christian on the face of this earth needs to go through this!

Chapter 4 – The Natural Order – Pride, guilt and condemnation are deadly symptoms of humankind’s constant need to measure up to moral and cultural standards of perfection. The content of this message provides a powerful step toward freedom!
Chapter 5 – The Great Irony of Heaven – Jesus was much more than simply a good teacher or another in a long line of religious leaders. The cross of Christ is both the fulcrum of human history and the foundation of our personal approval in the eyes of God.

Chapter 6 – The Cure for Spiritual Scurvy – Far too many of us have bought into the lie that power of sin over our lives can never be broken. How we need to understand that grace is so much more than we often allow it to be!

Chapter 8 – The Crabby World of Judgmentalism – Our inability to understand the difference between righteous and unrighteous judgments has damaged so many relationships. God is calling His Church to a new measure of oneness in our day!

Chapter 12 – Unfading Glory – We find in the Christian faith something far greater than anything this world has to offer. The Search for Me is a search for identity that can be fulfilled only as we humble ourselves and develop genuine relationships with God and His people.
