“This is one of the best, if not ‘the best' books that I have ever read about recovery! So much of that (recovery), is cooker cutter-like, parrot stuff.” ~ Amazon review
“This book helped change my perspective towards Alcoholics Anonymous and the impact of the twelve steps as well as Sponsorship.” ~ Amazon review
For most of his life, David Hampton could tell you what he believed about anything, anytime, at the drop of a hat. He prided himself in how well he could parrot what he'd been taught about Christian doctrine. At some point, he decided to trust the experts with matters regarding his spiritual formation and he learned to spout their words as his own. In so doing, he flipped off the switch in his heart.
He didn't want to confuse himself with questions. And he certainly didn't want to explore the issues and people that fell outside the grid of what he understood to be truth.
“I knew what the Christian subculture wanted,” writes David, “and how to fit into it. I even knew how to make a living giving it what it wanted. I bought in, signed on, drank the Kool-Aid. I even ended up working at the stand. Most confounding to me is that I thought I was being authentic and genuine. And maybe at the time that was even true.”
It all worked beautifully for David ... until it didn't. Only then was he able to really examine his faith, beliefs, and compare his own ideas of Christian doctrine against what Christ actually said, did, and died for.
Our Authentic Selves peels back the layers of your heart and leaves you transformed, filled with God's truth, and a transparent follower of Christ - flaws and all.
