Who we think we are and the direction we are going are intrinsically entwined constructs. Our evaluation of self-worth will either empower us to reach for more of life or entice us to settel for less. Who we think we are shapes our worldview, defines our limitations, sets boundaries, and allows for opportunities. Of the many questions bedeviling the hearts of man, these are among the most persistently bothersome. In my book, Insanity Defenses – Escaping the Madness of Faith, the central question I explored was “How can you know why you believe what you believe?” How can you get your mind, body, heart, and spirit on the same page with faith? This book’s primary focus is “What is life actually for?” What is the purpose of existence and what should the response be for those claiming God’s gift of redemption? This is a safari or an archaeological dig. If I do my job right, this book should frustrate you. It certainly frustrated me in its crafting. I am inviting you into deep waters where nets are sunk low. You will have to pull hard to get the fish. In this exploration, I ask more questions than I attempt to answer. I do not have all the right answers. But I believe there is value in spending time unpacking difficult questions more fully. I have tried to add color and depth to these puzzles. I hope by doing so people will have a better chance to wrestle with them and apply some leverage.
