The search for our identity is part of the universal human condition. We experiment with anything and everything in hopes of finding it. But the more we try, the more desperate our longing becomes.\nYet here’s the truth that you know is true—though you may not know why: You are the only you that will ever exist in human history.\n\nAnd you also know, (though you can’t explain it) you have a unique purpose to fulfill.\nYou are the only you that God will ever create. It’s time to find out why.\n\nAre You Who You Want to Be, is leadership coach and ministry leader Damian Gerke’s third (and fourth) book release. The book retraces the key discoveries, both from Damian’s personal identity journey and from the many people he has coached over the years. The content is deeply thoughtful and provocative, yet surprisingly simple and practical.\nYou’ll find Are You Who You Want to Be personal and vulnerable, sometimes light-hearted but consistently compelling, soul searching and frank. You will likely come away challenged and comforted, invigorated and yielded, clarified and convicted.\n\nWhile Damian reflects personal journey in the framework of faith as a follower of Jesus, he is respectful of those who are of other faith orientations, without judgment, and encourages the use of faith in discovering identity—no matter what your faith background may be.\n\nIMPORTANT: Are You Who You Want to Be (the book) is paired with The Field Guide for Are You Who You Want to Be. The two releases stand on their own, but are paired together to complement one another.\nThe book: Is written as a narrative nonfiction, using stories to make the abstract topic of identity more relatable. Starts with the problem of our lost identity and leads creatively to the solution of a Jesus-centered identity. Is best for those who appreciate the power of story, and who enjoy artistic exploration. The Field Guide: Is written as a workbook for individual or group study, and includes an annual identity-mapping process.
