You have a problem with your self.
We all do. It’s a long standing problem from which no one is exempt. We have all become less than we were made to be. We have all been dehumanised by sin.
You may have tried tips, techniques, self-help strategies, and life hacks to reverse this problem. And they were probably helpful to a point. But they just didn’t go deep enough. You discovered, as most of us have, that they never go deep enough. The dehumanising effects of sin are just too deep, and too wide.
What you need is Someone who is both powerful and loving who can walk with you through all the places you have been dehumanised, and restore you to your true self.
In this book Peter will show you how Jesus desires to walk with you in deeply personal ways that lead to your personal restoration. As you get closer to Jesus, a wonderful thing happens – you become the person God made you to be.
