A big part of being a Christian is realizing that you're a sinner, but in that, I believe many of us get lost. We get so caught up in our sin or shame that all we think about ourselves is what we're not, "I'm not pretty enough, I'm not good enough, I'm not brave enough, I'm not smart enough, I'm not important, I'm not loved, I'm not capable." This is the work of the devil. We have to stop tearing ourselves down every time we make a mistake, and we have to start thanking God that He extends His grace to us even in the midst of our sin. We have to go to God and let Him be our rock and find our identity in who He says we are.

The publication of the King James version of the Bible, translated between 1603 and 1611, coincided with an extraordinary flowering of English literature and is universally acknowledged as the greatest influence on English-language literature in history. Now, world-class literary writers introduce the book of the King James Bible in a series of beautifully designed, small-format volumes. The introducers' passionate, provocative, and personal engagements with the spirituality and the language of the text make the Bible come alive as a stunning work of literature and remind us of its overwhelming contemporary relevance.

LIFE Books managing editor, Robert Sullivan, has twice been awarded the Wilbur Award for best religion feature in a national magazine and has authored LIFE's New York Times best-selling biography of Pope John Paul II. He brings to this book his expertise on the subject of Christianity a long with text informed by the world's great scholars, theologians and religious figures. Jesus emerged from nowhere to become, in his short life-perhaps as few as 32 years-a thinker, teacher and preacher whose words and deeds would change the world and become the foundation for the world's largest religion. But the biography as outlined in the New Testament and apocryphal writings only tells us so much. LIFE's editors go, in words and pictures, in search of Jesus of Nazareth, the carpenter's son who would one day influence all. The great photographer Denis Waugh once made a thorough, colorful and moving pictorial pilgrimage to the Holy Land exclusively for LIFE, and those images will anchor our quest. We will travel, as well, to the Vatican, to the missions of Africa, to the Glide Memorial Church in San Francisco-to all that has risen in Jesus, name. In the book's final section, we will look at Christianity today: Its still vastly influential place in our tumultuous world.

I am who You say I am is a short book written to give inspiration to the youth. It talks about how we subscribe to the set of standards imposed upon us by modern societies. This is a time when challenges are pressing, and the youth frequently find themselves trapped in microcosms of confusion. With all of these in consideration, this book seeks to provide answers to those who are searching, a map to those who are losing their path, a motivation to those who are having a hard time understanding the wisdom veiled in various things. It encourages a search for an identity; for it is only by knowing the “self” that we can move forward to the right destination. This book has two parts that are divided into four chapters. The first part talks about what the world tells us to be, coupled with the things that make us feel lost and confused. The second part on the other hand, echoes spiritual guidance that carefully leads us to our true identity with the help of biblical verses. It emphasizes the paramount importance of shaping a good character. It influences our holistic view of who we should be. This book has poetic parts. All the chapters are interrelated. The author advises the reader to abide by the sequence. Enjoy the book!

Human existence is a bodily existence. A first principle of historic Christianity has been that Jesus assumed our humanity and everything essential to it in order that God may redeem all of our existence. Christ is the revelation of God and the revelation of true humanity. As we seek to understand our embodied experiences of the world and one another we do so in light of the embodied life of Jesus Christ. Jesus's humanity shows us what it means to live an embodied human life rightly and how we, as embodied human beings, can relate to the world around us. In this book we invite readers to explore with us why the humanity of Jesus is central to the Christian understanding of community, society, salvation, and life with God. Over the span of these ten chapters this book draws from biblical, historic, and cultural discussions as it enters into the breadth of the significance of the humanity of Jesus and explores how the reality of the Incarnation challenges and redeems our broken social structures, racial and ethnic divisions, economic systems, and sexuality.
