Have You Forgotten Who You Really Are? New Book from John and Angel Beeson Explores True Identity
Trading Faces is an important book for our cultural moment. John writes as an experienced pastor and Angel as a wise counselor. Together, they expose false identities, leading readers to Christ and the revolutionary new life he offers. John and Angel’s work is biblical, honest, vulnerable, and worshipful. I believe it will help many find freedom and joy in Christ.
– Kevin P. Halloran, author of When Prayer Is a Struggle
GRAND RAPIDS, MI — In their new book, Trading Faces: Removing the Masks that Hide Your God-Given Identity, authors John and Angel Beeson face the topic of identity head-on. Whether through vocation, family, marriage, political party, gender, economic status, or even what grocery store we frequent, the Beesons show how we lean toward these identity substitutes, beginning from childhood to adulthood. As a counselor and pastor, this husband-and-wife-team walk with people who wear masks and are engaged in identity battles every day. In Trading Faces, they bring personal experiences and life stories, so readers will know they are not alone.
“To answer the question “Who am I?” is to set the true north of your life. Who you are in Christ is unchangeable and nonnegotiable. Understanding that your true identities are in Christ allows you to step into being who you were made to be and living how you were designed to live.” says the Beesons.
In Trading Faces, the Beesons deep dive into ten identities that masquerade as truth, and give readers help and hope that they exchange those false labels for true identities. From shame to good works to individuality to careers, they leave no identity stone unturned in the life of the reader. Each of the chapters end in a heart -felt prayer. Trading Faces also includes other helpful resources, like a Now What? section helping readers know what to do next, and an appendix, Our Biblical Identities, that breaks down who we are collectively, and what we are called to as believers. Perfect for individual or small group study, Trading Faces is a life-changing and life-giving resource for the times we are in, when knowing who we are is more important than ever.
