Who Do You Think YOU Are?


             Who are you?  What things about yourself do you consider when preparing to answer this question?  In Who Do You Think You Are?, Mark Driscoll has the answer to that question without ever having met you, and that answer is connected to two of the most powerful words in all of Scripture: "in Christ."  Using the book of Ephesians as a backdrop, Driscoll uses these words and their contexts to paint a picture that man, needing only to be found in Christ, is more than he could ever truly fathom.
             Who Do You Think You Are? is full of what Driscoll does best.  If you have ever heard him teach, then this book will not surprise you, and you will not be let down.  This book is chock full of Scripture references to cross-link to the portion of Scripture he is teaching on, applicable examples from the lives of people he knows, and practical advice that the reader can easily apply to his or her life.
            As a person studying to be a credentialed pastor, and as a teacher, I found this book loaded with examples of Bible-centered promises that I can remind people of when talking with them about their problems and their identity.  Who Do You Think You Are? could easily find its place next to anything written by John Ortberg, John Piper, or even Josh McDowell.  I would recommend this book to anyone who wrestles with the fact being in Christ brings rewards through grace and not works.

I received my copy of this book for free from the publisher in exchange for writing a review.  I was not obligated to write a positive review; my opinions are my own.
