The Gift of Being Yourself: The Sacred Call to Self-Discovery by David Benner

Most of my friends are also avid readers. I love to ask them for book recommendations. And when I visit them, I love to spend time looking at their bookshelves.

On a recent trip down to southern California, I met up with my friend, Lisa, at Bruxie (which was amazing!) and she recommended this little gem of a book to me. It's about how knowing your true, authentic self is intertwined with knowing God and who He made you to be, so it's important to know yourself well and to also know God well.

It's a short, little book, and I appreciated the few exercises that are suggested. I've been putting some of them into practice, and it's been pretty cool.
