The Gift of Being Yourself

I had never heard of David Benner until this year when I read three of his more-than-thirty books. Benner's books meet at the three-way intersection of theology, psychology, and spiritual direction. How in the world have I missed his writing?

Just these two lines are worth the read:
"We do not find our true self by seeking it. Rather, we find it by seeking God."

"Daily experience impresses upon me the painful fact that my heart has listened to the serpent instead of God."

This slim volume is full of that kind of gritty wisdom that I need to get deep into my heart so I can hear my true story. And listen to yours.
