There can be few people in the early twenty-first century who have not, at some time, asked the question, "Who am I?" or set out to "find themselves". With creative insight and common sense, Dick Keyes offers a novel solution to the modern problem of identity that is found in the very creation of humanity itself. As human beings, we find our worth, value and meaning not in possessions, approval in others'eyes, or in the integration of our emotional life. We truly find ourselves only when we look "beyond identity" to a relationship with the God who made us. Dick Keyes and his wife Mardi, have worked with L'Abri Fellowship for over forty years in Switzerland, England and now in Massachusetts. He is a graduate of Harvard University and Westminster Theological Seminary. He is also the author of: Heroism, Chameleon Christianity, Seeing Through Cynicism
We all have a her image of ourselves. It can come from anywhere in our culture, good, bad or indifferent. Keyes challenges us to find out what God our maker has to say on the subject of heroism, and allow Him to form that hero image of ourselves. I took the challenge 25 years ago and it has had profound impact on my life. I highly recommend this well written, insightful book.
