Review and Kindle sale: Who Do You Think You Are, by Mark Driscoll
February 12, 2013
I recently had the chance to read Who Do You Think You Are, by Mark Driscoll. This nonfiction book was released January 8, 2013 by Thomas Nelson.
About this book (from the back cover):
“WHO ARE YOU?
WHAT DEFINES YOU?
WHAT IS YOUR IDENTITY?
How you answer those questions affects every aspect of your life: personal, public, and spiritual. So it’s vital to get the answer right.
Pastor and best-selling author Mark Driscoll believes false identity is at the heart of many struggles—and that you can overcome them by having your true identity in Christ. In Who Do You Think You Are?, Driscoll explores the question, “What does it mean to be ‘in Christ’?” In the process he dissects the false-identity epidemic and, more important, provides the only solution—Jesus.””
Final Verdict:
Mark Driscoll is the founding pastor at Mars Hill Church in Seattle. He is a somewhat controversial character, mainly because he kind of takes on a stereotypical “Manly-man” persona (with a capitol M) within the evangelical Christian community. I have no problem with him or his theological views, but his ideas are very different from those you’ll probably find when interviewing the typical person-on-the-street in the Pacific Northwest. So, if you like or don’t like Mark Driscoll, you’ll probably read your opinion of him into your opinion of this book. If you have no idea who he is, then this is a pretty standard book on Christian identity that may click with you. I found it to be interesting reading, and I like the way he categorizes his topics. Nothing new, but all solid theology.
