Publisher's Synopsis
So many churches. So many twists on religion. So many thoughts on getting to heaven. Sometimes it's easy to get lost in the midst of searching for truth and sorting out all the opinions. Imagine growing up in the home with an older brother named Jesus and trying to keep up with him day after day, battling with the rumors of your mother's infidelity and the bold statements of Jesus that was cutting against the religion they grew up in and still trying to find out where you fit into everything. This was James's early life before finally becoming the pastor of the first Christian church in Jerusalem. The book of James offers timely insights into finding truth about religion, social conflict, and salvation. James uses a hard-hitting style to pull back the cover and expose what makes a true Christian. In this book, Pastor Tom attempts to merge some of his own life experiences from a street kid in a broken home to being involved in legalistic churches, while all the time trying to search for his own identity as a Christian and pastor. This book was written to offer hope and help on this journey to finding biblical truth in the Christian life. Pastor Tom goes through the book of James and uses real life experiences, mistakes, conflicts, and successes to help make the journey a little easier to understand. Let Searching for Identity bring you encouragement to keep seeking truth, learning how to love, relating to others, and, most of all, finding living faith.
