DESCRIPTION:
An important book. Dick Keys has a very good understanding of human nature. He also has a very good understanding of the Biblical teaching about God. Beyond Identity sets forth the relation of these natures as humanity created in God's image.Human brokenness does not obliterate the image of God in people, yet people are clearly broken. This excellent book helps to explain the brokenness and how people may live to recover what they are by first nature amid their brokenness.Beyond Identity is highly reada. "An outstanding discussion on the search for identity with no" according to Max Shaw. An outstanding discussion on the search for identity with no starting point in a relation with God.

I can't say enough about this book!
Dick Keyes and his wife Mardi, have worked with L'Abri Fellowship for over forty years in Switzerland, England and now in Massachusetts. As human beings, we find our worth, value and meaning not in possessions,approval in others'eyes, or in the integration of our emotional life. With creative insight and common sense, Dick Keyes offers a novel solution to the modern problem of identity that is found in the very creation of humanity itself. He is also the author of: Heroism, Chameleon Christianity, Seeing Through Cynicism. He is a graduate of Harvard University and Westminster Theological Seminary.
