Description:
In a sincere but misguided attempt to please God, many of us strive to “fix our sin.” We soon discover that it doesn’t “fix” very well or for very long. And se we try to hide it and pretend like it isn’t there. But this only leads to more hiding, pretending, and despair—and nothing ever changes. We fear that God is almost never pleased. TrueFaced draws a clear distinction between two very different underlying motives: our determination to please God or to trust him. The resulting difference from these two starting points could not be more profound. One results in a striving that never feels it has done enough to please him. The other results in a trust that experiences his full pleasure. Our motives as followers of Christ will either keep us in unresolved sin and immaturity or free us into God’s astonishing dream for our lives. 224 pages hardbound
