Giveaway: Altar Ego by @craiggroeschel @Zondervan

This week, I’m giving away THREE copies of my friend, Craig Groeschel‘s, new book, Altar Ego: Becoming Who God Says You Are. Craig is the founder and leading pastor of LifeChurch.tv–which has 15 campuses in five different states and is considered the second largest church in the country. Craig, his wife, and their six kiddos live in Edmond, Oklahoma.

Altar Ego explores the idea that you are NOT who you think you are. Encouraging us all to evaluate our identity, lay it down on the altar, and sacrifice it. Give it to God. Offer it up.

Why?

Because you are who GOD says you are. And until you’ve sacrificed your broken concept of your identity, you won’t become who you are meant to be. When we place our false labels and self-deception on the altar of God’s truth, we discover who we really are as his sons and daughters. Instead of an outward-driven, approval-based ego, we learn to live with an ‘altar’ ego, God’s vision of who we are becoming. Altar Ego reveals who God says you are, and then calls you to live up to it.

What Does it Mean to #LIVEWONDERSTRUCK?

You may have noticed that when tweeting or instagramming about Wonderstruck, I don’t use the hashtag #Wonderstruck. Turns out a little known country star by the name of Taylor Swift has a perfume named Wonderstruck.

The teeny-boppers have hijacked #Wonderstruck.

So you’ll see that on the bottom of each page in Wonderstruck (the book, not the perfume) and on Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest we use the hashtag #LIVEWONDERSTRUCK.

I actually like it better. Continue Reading…

When we choose to faithfully pray for wonder, we can’t remain the same.

A prayer for wonder invites God to begin transforming us from the inside out. [Tweet this]

When we pray for wonder and live eyes wide open to wonder, the tone and tenacity with which we live our lives changes. We become expectant to catch glimpses of God in ways we’ve never seen Him before. We begin dismissing mere chance and embracing divine appointments. Continue Reading…
