Softcover. Condizione: Good. One online reviewer commented on this book by writing: "Recently, a friend gave me a copy of the book, Identity Theft, by Kevin Avram and Wes Boldt. It is a small book, and I thought it would be another quick read. I soon discovered it was anything but that. The 166 pages of this little book are filled with some of the most profound and biblically solid truths about the identity of the human heart, and the road maps or paradigms determining human behavior."The underlying thesis of the book is the human heart responds to truth either with pride or with humility. If our heart's response to truth is pride, the paradigm or lens through which we see the world will be rooted in an attitude of self-sufficiency, and will give birth to one of three distinct "heart identities": the laborer, the orphan or the beggar."In simple terms, when a person's self-identity (heart identity) is derived from a source other than God, their identity is, essentially "stolen." And, if we live with that paradigm long enough, our attitudes and actions grow more and more like the attitudes and actions of people who do not profess to know God or serve Christ."On the other hand, when the human heart responds to truth with humility, it opens the door to becoming a child of the King --a divine royal heir in an honest and real relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. We abandon self-sufficiency, and embrace dependence upon the Father. It's not about working for God, but about being His child, and as His son or daughter He may choose to do His work through us! What difference it makes to live and serve through this paradigm! Do you know who you are?"I encourage you to get this little book, and to dig deeper into the truth of our self-identity. God created us to be sons and daughters, not laborers, beggars or orphans. He wants you to be a royal heir!"______________________________________________________________________ ______There is a great difference between having an understanding in our heads and possessing a truth in our hearts. Using examples from Scripture, the authors explain the heart identity of an orphan, beggar, and laborer, and then contrast these with what it means not just to be a son or daughter, but to actually possess the heart identity of a son or daughter. The text then moves into a detailed description of the motivational gifts of Romans 12, carefully explaining how heart identity and motivational gifts shape our outlook.

Softcover. Condizione: Good. Product Description This is a book for Christians who love God, yet have come to a place where aspects of the institutional church, somehow, no longer seem to fit their lives. Limitations explains institutional elements of the North American church, why they exist, and does so without throwing rocks or fault finding. It leaves the reader focused upon what it means to posses an attentive ear and a heart that is hearing.  From the Author Seeing Church Through the Prism of Corporation  (An Excerpt from Limitations)When people conclude--even without consciously thinking about it--that it is possible to pick up ekklesia, refer to it as church, and then move it inside the operational and cultural apparatus of corporation, the implications are far-reaching. The ekklesia, like the young watermelon we looked at in an earlier chapter, ends up being placed inside a glass-like container, and by virtue of that fact, is compelled to take on the shape of the container. Our understanding of church thus becomes characterized by the features of corporation and all that it implies.By virtue of what a corporation is, its DNA supplies a never ending propensity to focus on leadership, performance, and function. The culture of corporation--any corporation--is predisposed to look for ways to establish processes, measure success, and quantify results. This is one of the reasons so many church corporations are quick to think in terms of "values," and the way human power sources might be harnessed in order to promote those values.Many church members, and especially church leaders, thus find themselves quietly--and often unknowingly--drawn to the place where they set a higher priority on values, and the quantifiable results of promoting those values, than they do on humility, transparent relationship, and hearing the Father's voice. From the Inside Flap From the Preface: Over the years, many books have passed through our home. Most of them, Becky and I have read and then given away, loaned out and never gotten back, or sold at yard sales. On a shelf in our bedroom, we have a small collection of "keepers" that we cherish and don't lend to anyone. There are only about 30 volumes there--books like The Believers New Covenant by Andrew Murray, You Can Hear the Voice of God by Steve Sampson, and The Green Letters by Miles Stanford.I think we prize these books for the perspective they present, rather than the information they contain. Such a distinction may sound vague, but it is significant. Being better informed is good, and to be valued, but more knowledge about something doesn't necessarily change what we see; only the precision with which we see it.Perspective is different. Perspective doesn't focus on the precision of our sight so much as it does the angle of our sight. A man perched atop a mountain will see things differently than when he is standing in the valley, or staying at a cabin that is halfway up the slope, surrounded by a grove of trees. And in the same way that our perspective of the landscape can change, depending on our line of sight, so too can our perspective toward other things.This is a book about perspective. About the Author Kevin Avram's past and long-term involvement in the institutional church, and his professional career as a development consultant, dove-tailed in such a way that he was able to gain a unique understanding of the way corporation as a concept, has come to shape the institutional church and so many aspects of contemporary Christianity. The book, Limitations, is the result.
