Who Am I In God? Discovering Our Christian Identity - Fr. Michael Lim & Dr. Sunny Hong - Lim Hong (Paperback)

Identity is a major focus of the social, psychological, political, and philosophical discourse of our time. The rejection of Judeo-Christian identity in westernised cultures has left an entire generation questioning: “Who am I?”

Who Am I in God? Discovering Our Christian Identity provides answers to this defining question by drawing upon the fundamental teachings of the Catholic Church.

In the first part of the book, Rev. Fr. Michael Lim, in collaboration with Dr. Sunny Hong, brings together truth and wisdom from a diverse range of Catholic sources: the Catechism of the Catholic Church; the Doctors of the Church, such as Saint Augustine of Hippo; and holy popes, such as the renowned theologian Pope Benedict XVI.

Drawing upon these sources, Rev. Fr. Michael Lim, with Dr. Sunny Hong’s contribution, calls us to consider the origin of humankind and be reminded of the subconscious memory we hold of our Creator. He compels us to contemplate the major defining period of our humanity when God lived amongst us as the Incarnate Man—Jesus Christ. Upon establishing our identity in God, we are instructed on the Catholic sacramental life and provided with guidance on how to live out our God-given identity in our daily lives.

A compilation of true-life conversion testimonies comprises the second part. These testimonies demonstrate the profound and life-changing effects that coming to know oneself as a child of the Trinitarian God and living out a Catholic sacramental life, with an inner “ecosystem” of holiness, has had on real people and their identities—an open invitation to all humanity.

“As difficult as Jane and Peter’s testimony in Chapter 14 is to read, it also makes this book significant. Not only are we given the theological version of the Cross, but also shown how the Cross has been enfleshed and played out in Jane and Peter’s lives¼In as much as it was difficult for the author, Jane, and Peter to share their testimony, God's will has been done for the betterment of all of us.” (Vince Agius, 60+ years old, Brisbane)

“Here is a book everyone MUST read, especially if you are a Catholic. It is an easy book to read—one you will return to again and again.

“I found this book to be very deep. I completely agree with the book about the advancement of technology and the compromise of religious and moral beliefs, leaving us humans with an unfulfilled inner yearning for something greater in our lives. It is as if our souls are spiritually yearning for something more than what the world has to offer.” (Candy Caldwell, 65+ years old, Goulburn)
