You are NOT who you think you are. In fact, according to bestselling author Craig Groeschel in Altar Ego, you need to take your idea of your own identity, lay it down on the altar, and sacrifice it. Give it to God. Offer it up.
Why? Because you are who God says you are. And until you’ve sacrificed your broken concept of your identity, you won’t become who you are meant to be.
When we place our false labels and self-deception on the altar of God’s truth, we discover who we really are as his sons and daughters. Instead of an outward-driven, approval-based ego, we learn to live with an “altar” ego, God’s vision of who we are becoming.
Discover how to trade in your broken ego and unleash your altar ego to become a living sacrifice. Once we know our true identity and are growing in our Christ-like character, then we can behave accordingly, with bold behavior, bold prayers, bold words, and bold obedience.
Altar Ego reveals who God says you are, and then calls you to live up to it.

"This is an interesting time in my life to read this book. I don't feel like I learned much, if anything, but a whole lot of lessons from recent events have been reinforced in chapter after chapter. I guess that means I'm on the right track!"
— Gunner (4 out of 5 stars)
" One of the best Groeschel books I've read thus far, by the end of it I was really excited about God. Definitely a much needed shot in the vein. "
— Skari, 11/12/2013" This was a good book and if I could give it a half more star I would. It was entertaining and the author made some good points but it just wasn't a great book. Certainly nothing wrong with it as I will likely read other books by him as we'll. "
— Mike, 11/11/2013" I enjoyed the concept of trading our ego for an altar ego and the practical steps it outlined. Craig is always simple and sequential...two qualities that I like to find in a book. "
— Bledar, 9/29/2013" Keeping the Christian life real. Great reminder of some foundations for walking with Christ. And if you're not a Christian it gives an insight into why we try to live the way we do. "
— Campbell, 9/22/2013" I needed the reminders that pastor Craig delivers with honestly and a sense of humor. This is a quick read that will leave you thinking about the possibilities in every moment. "
— Rebecca, 8/23/2013" This book was Awesome! Read it. It is such a good reminder of who God says you are and how you should and can live because of it. It is full of truth, laughs and tons of encouragement and is a very easy but powerful read. "
— Paige, 8/11/2013" Craig's Best book yet. Highly recommended to anyone searching to be all they can be in Christ. "
— Luke, 7/13/2013" Yet again, another excellent book by Pastor Craig. Somehow he always manages to write a book I need at just the right time! "
— Lana, 5/2/2013" Overall excellent read, lots of personal insights as a dad and pastor. "
