Publisher's Synopsis
There's victory in Jesus-just lay it all on the altar. Surrender-simply follow God's will for your life. On the surface, these directions seem straightforward, but have you ever wondered what, exactly, they mean? Have you chased after God, trying to establish a closer walk with Him, but never felt like you've moved toward that goal? Are you discouraged in your Christian walk because, try as you might, your life is not vibrant, peaceful, or particularly fulfilling? Do you wonder what God's will really is and how you might find it? How does being a Christian influence your identity? If you are seeking to understand how to live the deeply satisfying, Christ-centred life that you hear exhorted from your local pulpit-read on.
Know Yourself and Live Free sheds light on these questions, explaining why Christians often live defeated, unsatisfying lives. It explores the concepts of spirit and soul, discussing the soul's component parts and their roles in the Christian's frustration and challenge. Pastor Tysdal invites you to discover your loving Heavenly Father and your true identity and addresses the obstacles that stand in the way of experiencing who you really are in Christ. Throughout, Scripture provides a strong foundation of truth that highlights what identity in Jesus really is, and how the Holy Spirit leads to practical applications of those important truths.
Tysdal's personal quest for his identity in Christ helped strip away many of the superficial things that he had associated with his nature, allowing him to find the foundation of who he was in Jesus. He discovered what true freedom could look and feel like. Written from a humble spirit, this thoughtful and deliberate narrative offers insight and attitudes that can lead to freedom and clarity in a journey with Christ. Know Yourself and Live Free wipes away the cobwebs of confusion and provides a clear pathway to a life of blessing that might have seemed impossible, but isn't.
