I Am . . . Identity Crisis Undone—the Discovery of Who We Are Through the Eyes of God by Adriene Law is a book that has the potential to help many downtrodden people awaken their faith in the Almighty. The author hints about the bad things that had happened to her in the past and how lost she felt during those times. She had been carrying heavy baggage of fear, anger, insecurities, etc until she found her way to the Lord. Only when she realized that her life had a unique purpose and that He knew what that purpose was, she felt a sense of freedom. When she devoted herself completely to Jesus Christ, she could emerge from her self-created prison. The past has a way of leaving scars on our bodies and souls and, mostly, we let these scars define the person that we will become. The author notes and confesses that she, too, allowed her past troubles, miseries, and pain define her future, but that pushed her further into the pit of despair. However, when she accepted God as her savior and trusted Him with all she had, she discovered that she, as God's creation, is amazing.

Like all of us, she made mistakes and, as she mentions, some of those mistakes were so horrible that she could not imagine how anyone could ever forgive her. Nevertheless, when she joined hands with God, she realized that her Lord had forgiven all her bad decisions and mistakes, and that He had accepted her with all her virtues and sins. The author truly agrees with the saying: "Faith can move mountains." She writes that if you have an unwavering faith in God, then you will definitely find real peace and joy. I am moved by many of her words, but my favorite part is where she points out that we think of the world as a source of joy, whereas we should be the ones who bring joy to the world. It really makes sense and shows the wisdom of the author.

Adriene Law has borrowed many quotes from the Bible to bring home the knowledge that she wishes to share with her readers and they made an impact on me. I found myself looking forward to reading these words of wisdom of the Bible at the end of each chapter. I am not a Christian, but these words really resonated with my beliefs. The author has done an incredible job of describing what happens when you accept the Lord into your heart, learn to really forgive others, trust His decisions, hold His hand and follow Him with an unwavering faith, and believe that He can deliver your prayers. If the author had shared a few anecdotes and made it a little bit more personal, then it would have been a good read for a variety of readers. Having said that, I truly believe that hurt souls would find a direction by reading this book and the people who already have faith in their hearts would really connect with the author and her beautiful creation.

Do these words mean anything to you: “Underneath my skin and buried somewhere deep in my soul, I knew I was a good and decent person, but for the life of me, I could not figure out why I was here or why I had to endure so much in my life. I had no purpose, felt no value, and saw little worth in myself. With each failure, I felt defeated…” Has there been a time in your life when you felt you were floating, like there was no direction in your life, and as though you were just another statistic in the general scheme of things? You wouldn’t be alone and, having felt that way, Adriene Law set out on a journey to find answers. I Am . . .: Identity Crisis Undone—the Discovery of Who We Are Through the Eyes of God is a stunning revelation that will change the way you look at life and at yourself.

With brilliance and in a voice loaded with compassion, the author forces readers to look at themselves the right way — the way God looks at them. In telling her story, she identifies the obstacles that prevent most of us from embracing the truth of who we are, from accepting the fact that we are unconditionally loved by God. This is a book about one woman’s search for meaning and the undeniable truth that we are worth more than we can ever think in the eyes of the Creator. Here is a book with a message that will shift your self-perception and help you gain a deeper sense of self-worth, rediscovering the confidence to connect with your voice in a world that is filled with noise, and finding your purpose in a world where relativism takes precedence. The writing is sweeter than candy, inspiring, and upbeat. This is one of the gifts we receive occasionally, one to own and to share with others. This book will change your life.

I am able, I am amazing, I am alive, I am anointed, and I am a channel are powerful affirmations that introduce each section of this life-changing book. I have read a lot about positive affirmations, but hardly ever have I read a book that so beautifully and masterfully presents the psychological and religious foundations to thinking positively and claiming one’s identity as intimately linked to God’s design for their life.
