I dedicate this book to
Bill, A. C., and Dick,
three mentors and father figures who helped me discover the real me. These men believed in who God made me to be long before I could see it or believe it myself. Their love, encouragement, support, and sometimes painfully honest feedback have shaped my life. I am eternally grateful.

This book has been developing in my heart and mind for many years. Like most followers of Christ, I grappled with what it really means to be in Christ and live from my worth in Him rather than seeking to gain it through success, productivity, or self-improvement.
Dr. Bill Lawrence, Professor Howard Hendricks, and too many wise teachers to name taught me the theology of my position in Christ, as my wife, Theresa, modeled for me the practical means of replacing lies about myself with the truth of my new standing before God.
Venture Christian Churchs elders, staff, and congregation helped me develop and refine the concepts in this book as I first taught them in a series of expositional messages on Ephesians 13.
Jerry McCauleys insight, feedback, editing, and oversight of this project were invaluable, and this book would not exist without him.
Chris Tiegreens wordsmithing and editing of the actual manuscript were foundational as we transformed messages into paragraphs and chapters.
My assistant for many years, Charlotte Coulter, diligently protected my time, managed my schedule, and provided logistical support with tons of encouragement when deadlines and life seemed to collide.
Im especially grateful to Brian Vos, Mark Rice, and the entire team at Baker Books for their feedback, suggestions, and tremendous flexibility.
Finally, thank you, Theresa, not only for hours and hours of listening to this book but for years of helping me learn to see myself as God sees me. Youre the best!
The Power of Mirrors
I will never forget an experience I had my senior year in college. After my college basketball team lost a tournament game that ended our season, most of my teammates determined the best way to celebrate would be to go out and party.
By this time, I was walking with the Lord and had no desire to hit all the bars in Charleston, West Virginia, to watch my buddies get drunk. A cheerleader named Mary was of the same mind. She was a friend I knew from a couple of the Bible studies on campus.
After the game, Mary and I found ourselves in a small all-night coffee shop. To be honest, I was more than a little intimidated. She was stunningly beautiful and athletic, with long blonde hair, piercing blue eyes, and a 3.7 grade-point average. Though I had come to believe that no one had it all together, she seemed to be the exception. She had been blessed to be in that 1 percent of the gene pool.
After listening to her story for about two hours, I couldnt believe what I was hearing. The distance between how she viewed herself and objective reality was stunning.
Im not exaggerating when I say she seemed to hate herself. She actually looked in the mirror and thought she was ugly and worthless. I tried to encourage her, but when I reminded her of her great GPA, she said, 4.0 is a success in my family. Im a failure.
I was sitting with someone who had so much going for her in every respect, yet she saw herself as a failure, ugly, and unacceptable.
Her perception was completely illogical to me.
