Many people are obsessed with the approval of others. The problem is that living for what people think of you is the quickest way to forget what God thinks about you. In Altar Ego, author Craig Groeschel shows individuals and small groups how to abandon self-worth based on accomplishments and possessions, turning instead to the eyes of God to define them. Participants will learn to expose false labels and selfish motives as the roadblocks they are, going instead to the altar of God's truth and pursuing the higher values he sets above the world. You don't have to get caught up in your self-worth or lack thereof. Your worth is not based on your opinion of yourself. You are valuable because God says you are His. You are not your past. You are not what you did. You are not who others say you are. You are who Christ says you are. This DVD (guide sold separately) will help you delve further into God's divine plan, and will ultimately help you sacrifice any old, unhealthy, untrue, and unbiblical thoughts about yourself and introduce you to your altar-ego--who you are in Christ. Sessions include: Overcoming the Labels that Bind You (12:00) You Are God's Masterpiece (10:00) Trading the Immediate for the Ultimate (11:30) Living with Integrity (10:00) Developing Spiritual Boldness (12:00) Designed for use with Altar Ego Study Guide 9780310894940 (sold separately).

At the start of the book Craig reminds us that we are not yet who we are called to be, and can all at times find value in the wrong places, putting on labels that do not capture who we truly are but those that are thrown at us by others. In his own life he allowed himself to go through a series of events to discover what God had placed within the core of who he truly was.
The book is split up into three main parts - these are `Sacrificing your false self for your sacred identity', `Sacrificing cultural relativity for Eternal values' and `Sacrificing self justification for passionate obedience' these are then further broken down into chapters encouraging you to step outside of the labels and live with integrity and truth. In each chapter Craig invites us to dive deeper into our true calling.
Who has God called you to be?
It is a question at some point in your life you will find yourself asking and to have a clear understanding you have to lay down every negative behavior, comment and mindset and make a commitment to change, essentially you have to be consistent with the time you spend with God.
It was my first time reading one of his books and he has authored many others which I am assuming are equally thought provoking and gem filled. The only thing I was disappointed about was when the book came to an end! Grieg really has an engaging style that leaves you feeling encouraged and blessed. If you are looking for a deeper understanding of what God is doing in your life and has called you to be then you will want to read this book, if you are ready for a change or you are in the idle you will want to read this book. If you don't know what the fuss is all about and would just like to read a good book, then you've guessed it! You will want to read this book.
