I Am Not But I Know I AM

It's been a while since I've posted about a book I've read (probably because I've been so busy I haven't read a whole lot), but the wait is over. And I must say, this book is well worth your time.

I Am Not But I Know I AM by Louie Giglio was a great eye opener for me. This story is about, well, basically about how The Story is not about me. God has a story He's been working on for the past forever and I have only recently been given a role in that story.

This book can be described by saying it teaches you how to stop being self-centered and be God-centered. It can be summed up as such: "There are two ways to live my life, falsely believing my life is about me or truly believing my life is about God and His eternal plan." This isn't to say that my life is essential to God redeeming the world. However, God has a plan for my life and I can worship Him in no better way than being obedient.

A few good quotes to wet your appetite...

"There's something pretty powerful about knowing who you are--and who you're not."

"When someone named I am not decides to live as though his or her name is really I AM, one consequence always follows: death."

"God and anybody else is an overwhelmingly powerful team."
