Young adults today face an identity crisis. They can fill their social media bios with half a dozen labels, but they lack a coherent sense of self. Christian college students often feel a disconnect between the faith they profess and their everyday lives. It's no coincidence that these emerging adults struggle with their mental health and self-worth.In this book, experienced educator Perry Glanzer combines original qualitative research and the Christian theological tradition to help readers rediscover their core identity: image bearers of God. Glanzer shows how embodying one's true self sheds light on one's purpose, vocation, and moral identity.This brief yet profound guide frees readers from the burden of self-definition and empowers them to discover God's purpose for their lives.
