Discover Your True Self in the Red Letters

In this brief and easy-to-read book, theologian and author Mike Ford examines how we can find a deeper connection to God by discovering a deeper connection to our true selves by revealing how the True Self is exhibited in the Gospels. Ford teaches that there is a split within each person, going back to the Garden of Eden. This split has created a True Self that proceeds from Original Blessing and a False Self, known as the ego, that proceeds from Original Sin. The Fall caused separation, not only between humanity and God, but within each person. The Good News is Christ personifies each person's full and complete True Self. Therefore, seeing one's True Self in Christ is the Christian path toward a convergence of the journey into God and the journey into our selves without the tainted perceptions of our own egos. In this book, Ford walks readers through various Gospel passages in a way that shows the True Self within the Biblical text.
