Our world is filled with fake facades, from the unrealistic filters used on social media to the "holier than thou" personas seen in certain hypocritical believers. To combat the fake trends, a new trend has emerged-one that fights the facade with transparency and vulnerability. Instead of being filtered or super-spiritual, we're told to be real and honest. And rightly so.

      Capps (We Over Me), a speaker for Proverbs 31 Ministries, details in this helpful Bible study how readers can get away from concentrating on their own wants and instead focus on God’s will. Capps uses personal stories and scriptural references to relate how even mundane situations can inform one’s spirituality. For instance, she recalls how a mortifying seventh-grade pimple became the impetus for looking at herself (literally and spiritually) without “blemishes of jealousy, bitterness, or pride.” Skillfully breaking down biblical analysis into language suitable for general Christian readers, she compares the Pharisees’ “man-made rules on top of Scripture” to modern-day spending axioms (“it would be like adding ‘never use a credit card’ to the principle to steward your money well”) and makes lively analogies (like comparing Abner, a biblical commander, to a bad reality singing show contestant). Readers are called to question generalizations, such as how many Christians hide the “life-altering power and hope” found in Jesus in order to appeal to secular peers, which Capps believes diminishes Christians’ confidence in all facets of their lives. Christians seeking a deeper relationship with God, or looking to rekindle growth in their faith, will enjoy this accessible treat that weds self-help and sanctification.
