In this timely and thoughtful book, Dr. Rosner provides a biblical, practical guide to understanding ourselves asGod understands us. He makes the persuasive case that society's call to 'find yourself,' 'be true to yourself,' and 'beauthentic' can only lead to human flourishing when these efforts are grounded in one's union with Christ and God'sprior knowledge of us. This is an ideal book to place into the hands of any believer experiencing the disorientationof life's big changes, especially when those changes involve suffering and loss. With both theological precision andpastoral experience, Dr. Rosner describes how in times of difficulty we can rest in the identity that we have as membersof God's family. -- Frank Thielman, Professor of Divinity, Beeson Divinity School
