Synopsis

As you journey deeper in the Christian pilgrimage, you come to realize that the Christian life is more than merely replicating particular spiritual disciplines or practices. You begin to understand that at the core of Christian faith is the transformation of your very identity. M. Robert Mulholland Jr. exposes the false selves that you may be tempted to hide behind and helps you to instead discover the true self that comes from being hidden with Christ in God. If the goal of the Christian journey is Christlikeness, then you must reckon with the unhealthy ways that you root your sense of being in things other than God. Along the way, you will discover a growing sense of intimacy and abandonment to God. Not only will you encounter the joy of discovering your own self, you will also find a greater love for others and compassion for the world. The expanded edition includes a study guide for individual reflection or group discussion.

I struggled with this book. I put it down more than once to read something else and finally made myself finish the thing just to get it over with. I’m glad I did, though, because the last chapter was the most practical and satisfying. The rest of it was a review and rebranding of basic Christian the......more

Goodreads review by Emily on June 17, 2008

I found this book extremely helpful in identifying some of my own underlying issues. The first half of the book focuses on identifying the "false self" and especially the "religious false self" which is the identity that we foster apart from Jesus. Mulholland does a great job of describing the chara......more
