Discover Who You Really Are in Christ What if everything you thought about being a Christian was incomplete? In a world of cultural Christianity, spiritual confusion, and shallow teaching, one question stands above all others-a question that determines not only how you live but where you will spend eternity: Who is a Christian? Is it someone who attends church? Someone who was baptized? Someone who tries to be a good person? Someone who prayed a prayer decades ago? Or is it something so much deeper, so much more radical, so much more transformative that it can only be described as a resurrection? Bishop Dr. Brendan Fraser has spent forty-two years preaching, teaching, and shepherding across Africa and the West. Pastor James Okon has spent twenty-eight years pastoring in Abuja, Nigeria, where Christians face persecution, martyrdom, and the daily cost of following Jesus. For Every Seeker, Every Doubter, Every Disciple Whether you are:
- A seeker asking What does it really mean to follow Jesus?
- A new believer drowning in confusion about your identity
- A mature Christian wrestling with doubt and seeking assurance
- A pastor looking for resources to disciple your flock
- A skeptic wondering if Christianity is worth the cost
...this book is for you. What You Will Discover PART ONE: THE FOUNDATIONS
You are not a label; you are a new creation. You are not someone who has been improved; you are someone who has been executed-crucified with Christ-and brought back to life. PART TWO: THE COST
Jesus did not come to make you comfortable; He came to make you His. Discover what it truly means to take up your cross daily, to lose the world, to suffer for the Name, and to love Jesus more than family, more than possessions, more than life itself. PART THREE: THE ASSURANCE
Stop living in tormenting doubt. Learn how the Spirit testifies with your spirit that you are a child of God. Discover the evidence of genuine faith-not to earn salvation, but to know you have it. PART FOUR: THE LIFE
How does a Christian live in a world that has gone mad? Navigate gender ideology, sexual ethics, political tensions, digital idols, and a skeptical culture-not by retreating, but by engaging as a resident alien, a citizen of heaven living in a foreign land. PART FIVE: THE HOPE
Eternal life is not a distant future; it is knowing God now. The resurrection is not a metaphor; it is your coming reality. Suffering will end; every tear will be wiped away. Endorsed by Scripture With over 250 Bible passages woven throughout, this book does not offer opinions; it proclaims the Word of God. Every chapter is anchored in Scripture, illuminated by theological depth, and applied with pastoral wisdom. What Readers Are Saying This book dismantled my shallow Christianity and rebuilt it on the foundation of Christ. I finally understand who I am.
- David, Lagos, Nigeria I have been a Christian for thirty years, but this book gave me assurance I never had. The chapter on the seal of the Spirit alone is worth the price.
- Sarah, London, UK. Your Identity. Your Cost. Your Hope. The world will tell you that a Christian is a nice person who goes to church. The devil will tell you that a Christian is a hypocrite who tries harder and fails. Religion will tell you that a Christian is someone who follows rules. But the Bible declares that a Christian is someone who has died and been raised-a new creation, a child of God, a temple of the Spirit, an heir of eternal life. Which voice will you believe?
