True worth is an excellent depiction of how your relationship with Jesus Christ will determine how you see yourself and others around you. Author Michael Lewis is authentic, personal, and relatable in understanding how our identities should be grounded in Christ.

I was fortunate to have received this book from Michael and Claire. I can relate to this book and Michael’s upbringing because I also grew up in a Christian family, going to church each Sunday. However, Michael is very thoughtful and down-to-earth. I think that anyone can relate to him or his point of view on some level. As for me, as a new nurse, this book has helped me become more assertive (overcome some of my timidness) when advocating for my patient’s care with doctors who can be dismissive or condescending. It’s helped me to remember that our worth is not in our education but in who we are as children of God. I also liked the discussion about humility. It has changed the way I appreciate life. I look differently at others now. I can’t judge anyone who society may deem as people who have not made the best decisions in life. Overall, a great read if you feel like something is not right about how you interact with other individuals in your life; or you feel like you want something more.

Reading True Worth was both insightful and encouraging. Michael J. Lewis has delivered an exceptional book which asks penetrating questions and graciously assists the reader to recognize and “own” ways we and others see us. Some of those identities have been superimposed on us.

While some Chapters may punch you in the nose (because you recognize yourself in the story), the rest leads you to reasoning that will help you release some labels you no longer are. It is an excellent read. Well, get the book. You will be glad you did!

True Worth takes an in depth look into the identities that we place on ourselves and uses scripture to expose the lies that we believe because of these identities. Michael uses personal experiences to help the reader better understand the ideas and concepts he is talking about. I truly enjoyed reading this book because it helped me pin point areas in my life I had unhealthy identities in.

True Worth: Identity in Christ has the tools that relate to everyone in their life. There are exemplary examples that relate to real life experiences. It will have you examining your own life and when you think there is is the slightest comparison you are stopped to realize that life means so much more than the value you have placed on yourself. I would recommend this book to anyone struggling to find a path to God. The value of life according to this read is more than anything you could possibly obtain from this world. I was inspired by the directness used that helped outline the battles and tribulations that we use to keep ourselves down and the helpful way this book lights a positive path to reconnect with your true worth as stated in the title. Michael Lewis has a true heart and continues to insert this into his book and his life shared throughout this book.

This book was EXACTLY what everyone needs to hear. At least I know it’s what I needed to hear as someone who was raised Christian but felt something was missing in my walk with Christ as an adult.
Michael does an excellent job of reassuring and motivating the reader toward looking at their life in a unique way that keeps God on top.
Each line I read felt like an “aha-moment” and settled a lot of uncertainty I personally felt.
My favorite part is how he gently reminds you that keeping Identity in Christ first isn’t limiting and will allow you to enjoy the world more by recognizing that the greatest satisfaction comes from living as a Child of God and not money, achievements, etc.
The vulnerability and worldly comparisons Michael uses made the message easier to understand for anyone and I will be sharing this book with many of my loved ones and people I know who follow or want to begin following Christ.
I loved every minute of reading this book, it left me with feelings of warmth and clarity.

" AS we grow in our awareness of the identities that vie for our attention in pressure situations that demand action, we can better assess the situation , make better decisions, and take more appropriate steps in response" Michael Lewis Can you think of any other reason to read Michael's book than this? I can think of more than a few! It's like you are letting us in on this Amazing secret that really is no secret at all. All we have to do is listen and hear.

This book delves into both spiritual and societal issues that challenge us daily. Michael really unearths what we as humans tend to lack in Faith and awakens us to understand our own value, away from external sources. We look to worldly things forgetting we have Christ within us – so we seek our value externally in material things. Much of Michael’s insight touches on more than just the religious aspects Christianity. It’s about living a more fruitful life while we wait for our forever home and step away from what society tempts us with for there is more value in Christ. This is an inspirational read, and I hope it blesses many! I will be recommending it as a tool to strengthen Faith and “True Worth” in the eyes of our Lord, allowing HIM to shine through us. This books calls to mind one of my favorite passages in the Bible –

1 Corinthians 15:10

“But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.”

This book really showcases the epitome of this scripture! Bravo!

“True Worth” is a detailed blueprint guiding us into a sanctity of life. The theme is simple..
“To have identity in Christ and to be led in His ways is so much better than being led by the
ways of the world.” Truer words were never spoken. Michael clearly gives us the wherewithal to pursue with new vigor this amazing “Identity in Christ” A real wake up call.
