Reviews
“In Romans 12:3 the Apostle Paul challenges us to not think more of ourselves than we ought to, but to think of ourselves with sober judgment. In ‘Who Do You Think You Are,’ Doug Britton does just that. This is an excellent resource for individuals and small groups that helps us to truly see ourselves as God sees us. I highly recommend it!”

“I really like this book because it takes everything back to the Word of God and how He views us. What better perspective of yourself than that of the Heavenly Father’s? When we get out of balance and look to other sources for our confidence, we are thrown into an arena that’s dangerous for us.”

“Doug’s books have been used in an incredible way in our church. Plus, they have made a big difference in my own marriage, family life, and personal walk. I use them in teaching and preaching, and have made them available to my children. The thing I like about them is that they provide practical, reader-friendly tools and lessons not only on what to do, but how to do it. They get into your heart. I urge you to check out these materials. There’s subject matter that covers almost all areas of personal life.”

Digging deeper
Who do you think you are? Do you struggle with a negative self-image—even though you try to think positively or build up your “self-esteem”? Do you think you are a failure, live a life of regrets, or feel inferior to others? Do you wonder what your purpose is—or sometimes think your life doesn’t matter?
Have you tried “solutions” that don’t work? If you think poorly about yourself, you may think the solution is positive thinking or building up your “self-esteem.” You may try to build yourself up by earning more money, becoming popular, gaining a position of power, buying a new car, wearing expensive clothes, or working out to appear more attractive.
But these “solutions” don’t work in the long run. Even if they make you feel good about yourself for a short time, you end up feeling just as bad inside as you did before—or worse. You might feel hopeless, sure something is drastically wrong with you.
Learn to see yourself through God’s eyes. In Who Do You Think You Are?, you will learn the real solution—to deeply understand who you are in Christ, what it means to be forgiven and loved by God, and what your purpose in life is. It is only in our relationship with God that we discover our true meaning and who we are.
God doesn’t want you to go through life hanging your head because of your failures. Instead, he wants you to be excited because you are his child. He loves you and has exciting plans for you.
