Rick Warren’s book The Purpose Driven Life sold more than twenty-four million copies, but Arron Chambers insists that before we can fulfill our purpose we must understand our identity. This month DPI will feature Chambers' new book Remember Who You Are: Unleashing the Power of an Identity-Driven Life.

Chambers is one of the ministers for Christ’s Church in Jacksonville, Florida, a part of the Independent Christian Church family of churches with whom many of us have much in common. The convictions of this church on biblical conversion are consistent with what DPI writers have held to in all our books, and they have a strong commitment to discipleship.

Chambers' work includes keen insights and considerable humor. This is not a heavy theological work, but it is also not short on fresh biblical perspectives (for example, “Purpose without identity can lead to a hypocritical existence. The Pharisees knew what on earth they were here for, but they had forgotten who on earth they were. They had works, but no faith, and works without faith are just as dead as faith without works.”

Chambers is very much in touch with the reality of the human condition. Consider this example: “But truth be told, we don’t usually fall into sin—we jump. In fact, we often step back so we can get a running start!”
