Your True Identity: How Freedom in Christ Brings Healing, Hope, and Wholeness

by Denise Shick

Who am I? Every person at one time or another seeks an answer to that question. But our determination to create a sense of identity, wholeness, and purpose apart from God can trap us in a cycle of confusion, frustration, and destructive habits.

Your True Identity: How Freedom in Christ Brings Healing, Hope, and Wholeness provides a biblical perspective on gender and sexuality for those who struggle with gender identity, transsexual confusion, and same-sex or opposite-sex compulsions.

Throughout the study, first-person accounts are paired with sound biblical teaching to guide you toward understanding how freedom in Christ is the only means of discovering your true identity and achieving the wholeness you seek. Questions at the end of each chapter will help you evaluate your experiences, process the content, and apply the principles.

The freedom Christ offers isn't the freedom from temptation, conflict, or difficulties. It's the freedom to resist temptation, resolve conflict, and persevere through difficulties by the power of the Holy Spirit.

In this study, you will be offered the opportunity to:

• Embrace the possibility and value of change
• Explore both the scientific and biblical facts about gender
• Understand the dangers of the feel-good mentality and behavior based on feelings instead of convictions
• Explore what the Bible teaches about sexuality
• Learn how to overcome guilt and shame
• Understand God's love for you and His good plan for your life
• Equip yourself with the tools that will help you persevere on your journey toward freedom in Christ

Choose to be the person God designed you to be. Choose to walk in the freedom of your true identity in Christ. Choose the life of healing, hope, and wholeness God longs for you to enjoy.
