Book Review: Defined by Stephen Kendrick, Alex Kendrick
Inspired by the Kendrick brothers’ new movie OVERCOMER, and written by the #1 New York Timesbest-selling author team behind The Love Dare and The Battle Plan for Prayer, comes an exciting new resource about discovering your God-given identity and embracing the wonder of who you were created to be.
At this very moment, what you believe about your own purpose and value affects almost every area of your life—including how you think and feel, the way you react to circumstances, and how you approach God and your relationships. But what is guiding your core beliefs? Are they healthy and founded upon solid truth? Or are they constantly shifting with the opinions of others or your own emotions?
Based upon powerful insights from the scriptural book of Ephesians, and seasoned with personal stories and practical wisdom, Defined challenges you to let the One who knows you best be the One who guides your heart the most. It’s time for all of us to live in the amazing light of His acceptance, abundance, and strength.
Defined is chocked full of encouragement, inspiration, and God’s word to show readers they have purpose. The chapters aren’t too long, but they aren’t “fluffy” either. They challenged me to make sure I wasn’t believing lies about myself. Each chapter also had Scriptures to help dive deeper, and a short prayer. There are five parts that take the reader from wondering who they are to walking out their identity for God’s Kingdom. Discussion questions are also included at the end for small group use.
I think this is a perfect book for an adult to discover, especially after they see Overcomer. It will answer their questions, give hope, and get them started on a path that will make them a force in God’s Kingdom. If you know anyone questioning their worth, their faith, or wondering what faith is about, I think Defined is a great place to start.
I received Defined from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated and all opinions are my own.
