This is a great devotional that was helpful for me to read through in coming to better understand my identity in Christ (which all always be a work in progress) and challenging wrongful ideas I have about myself and about who God is (e.g., God is a punisher, thinking too low and too high of myself). The devotional consists of 3 different parts: 1)Who you really are... at first, 2)Your life is Christ, and 3)Three pillars of your new identity to be read through in 40 days. (Per usual, it took me almost a year to get through it.) Each day consists of questions and scripture to facilitate further reflection. While I was not crazy that Myers used a number of different versions of the Bible when referencing scripture, I like that she uses God's word as the ultimate place we should turn to in digging deeper into who we are and whose we are. I could see this particular devotional appealing more to women than men, but Myers does not explicitly orient the text to men or women. It will be interesting to come back to this devotional in a few years and see what stands out, what is most challenging, and what is most affirming at that time.
