You Who?: Why You Matter and How to Deal With It Audiobook (Free)

If ‘Who am I?’ is the question you’re requesting, Rachel Jankovic doesn’t need you to ‘find yourself’ or ‘follow your center.’

Those lays are nothing to the confidence, freedom, and clarity of purpose that come with knowing what is actually essential about you. And the response to that query is at once less and more than everything you are longing for.

Christians love the idea that self-expression may be the substance of a beautiful person, but that is clearly a rest, too. With brand humor and no non-sense about You Who?: Why You Matter and How to approach It practicality, Rachel Jankovic explains the false story of the Self, you start with the innovations of a supremely ugly man named Sartre (rhymes with ‘blart’). And we—women and men, young and outdated—have bought his rest of the Best Self, with awful results.

Thankfully, that isn’t the finish of our story, You Who: Why You Matter and How to approach It takes the identity question into the nitty gritty details of everyday living. Here’s the first clue: Stop searching inside, and begin planting flags of everyday faithfulness. In Christianity, the self is always a tool rather than a destination.

Rachel Jankovic is a wife and mother of seven kids. She is heavily associated with the Christ Cathedral Women’ Bible Reading Problem, and she is author of Loving the tiny Years: Motherhood in the Trenches and Fit to Burst, two books on Christian motherhood.
