Laatste Kans Be Real : Because Fake Is Exhausting – Rick Bezet

Beschrijving

Be Real : Because Fake Is Exhausting

We live in a world of fakers. Rather than being real with each other, we present a carefully crafted persona that hides our faults and magnifies our good qualities. But inside we long to be loved, warts and all. We long to stop hiding from each other–and especially from God. With candor and clarity, pastor Rick Bezet calls readers to a life built on authenticity, showing that the way to true freedom lies through reclaiming our hearts, reviving our souls, and renewing our minds in light of what God has done for us through Jesus Christ. Through biblical stories and (often funny) personal examples, Bezet encourages readers to live with passion, integrity, and perseverance. He releases readers from the spiritual death that comes with pretending and leads them into a new life characterized by transparency rather than fear.

Interweaving biblical and personal stories, this compassionate book shows readers how to build an authentic life, one that reclaims their hearts, revives their souls and renews their minds in light of what God has done for them through Jesus Christ
