Just finished reading another book on the blog tour. This one was "Eyes Wide Open" by Jud Wilhite. I had the opportunity to meet Jud in Washington D.C. last summer at a small conference at National Community Church. Since then I have run into Jud at Catalyst in Atlanta and at the Willow Arts Conference last week in Chicago. I really admire Jud as a young leader navigating the huge responsibility of leading Central Christian in Las Vegas.

This is a great book. Particularly for young believers, but also a good reminder for those who have followed Jesus for some time. In Eyes Wide Open, Jud invites you to discover the real you. Not the you who pretends to be perfect to satisfy everyone’s expectations. Not the you who always feels guilty before God. Not the you who secretly feels God forgives everyone else but only tolerates you. Not the you who looks in the mirror and sees a failure. The real you, loved and forgiven by God, living out of your identity in Christ.

I'd encourage you to pick this book up and be reminded of your real identity in Christ. You can click here to find out more about the book, or go to Amazon.
