Book Club: Abba's Child Chapter 2

Chapter Two - The Impostor

Begin with five minutes of silent prayer, becoming aware in faith of the Indwelling Presence and humbly asking the Spirit to speak to your heart through Scripture, personal reflection, and the insights of others.

Read Mark 8:34-36. Then focus on the following question for personal reflection and group interaction:

1. Describe in some detail the two most prominent disguises your impostor has worn in recent years. What manifestation of the false self are you coping with at the present moment? Self-acceptance goes a-begging until the impostor is acknowledged and accepted. What is denied cannot be healed. Have you embraced your false self, introduced him/her to Jesus, and observed the rascal beginning to shrink? Have you tagged him/her with a nickname?
