New Christian Book Aims to use Biblical Passages to Help Better Christians' Perspective and Relationship with Christ


Author discusses the implications and meaning of each element of a Christian identity

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho, Jan. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Endeavoring to empower the Christian community and inspire spiritual growth, author David Blanchard, a devout follower drawing on over a decade of extensive research, announces the release of his book, "Will God or the World Define You?: Understanding Christian Identity in God's Story."

"Our stories are important because he created us to have them, and they play a significant part in God's larger story," Blanchard said. "But those stories are to be formed by, guided by, and lived out through the identity God intends for us, individually and in community.

Believing many Christians may not fully understand what it means to be a Christian, Blanchard draws on the rich tapestry of over 700 Bible verses focused on Christian identity, weaving together insights, reflections, and applications to guide readers on a potentially transformative journey to understand how they are meant to see themselves and what should be guiding their hearts, minds, and souls.

Focusing on the spiritual struggle that he feels may be impacting people's souls, Blanchard's words are written to elevate Christians' confidence in what they believe and how to respond with clarity, intentionality, and effort, rather than apathy, fear, or indifference.

"Many Christians don't fully understand what it means to be a Christian," Blanchard said. "They are confused and unsure, letting the world define them. However, to be a Christian is to understand and live out a God-provided identity, something I believe my book may offer."

By offering tools and insights, the book aims to empower all backgrounds of readers, promoting the idea of community and shared faith, while offering guidance to Christians to experience a more intimate relationship with God while having an ability to stand firm in their faith.

"Our stories are important because he created us to have them, and they play a significant part in God's larger story," Blanchard said. "But those stories are to be formed by, guided by, and lived out through the identity God intends for us, individually and in community."
