The Vertical Self - Mark SayersMark Sayers, founder of uber, takes a look at the identity crisis found in Western society with his new book The Vertical Self.  The challenge that Sayers lays out is that in a narcissistic society, no one will really know what their true identity is until they encounter their identity with God (i.e. the vertical self).

Who is Mark Sayers?  Good question.  Before reading this book I had no idea, but the idea intrigued me enough to give The Vertical Self a read.  And since Leonard Sweet took time write the forward and put his name on the book, I figured it would be worth my time; and I was correct.

We live in a world where people are trying to figure out their identity.  What’s awesome and dangerous all the same is that we have a freedom to be whoever we want.  In fact, you can practically change who are over night and fit right in with a new crowd of people.  You may think there is nothing wrong with that, but is there any fulfillment?

People are trying to be cool, but instead we need to be holy.  We are God’s work of art, created in His image.  Think of it this way, after reading 1 Corinthians 12:12-20, if we are not doing what we are created to do, then we are not properly functioning as a body.  We are created uniquely be an all-powerful Creator who loves us.  Embrace that.  See yourself as God sees you.
