“My friend Bekah Hannah shows how our endless quest for identity—even when infused with good theology—becomes an emotional black hole that is never satisfied. She offers a better way, helping us break free from the self-focused search for identity so we can root our confidence in Christ, the immovable anchor of our souls. Read this book slowly and prayerfully, allowing the gospel truth within it to read you.”
—Brian Walker, director of operations, Anchored Virtual
“Like a skilled artist, Rebekah Hannah adds rich depth to our understanding of identity in Christ. She invites us to not only see but also to savor the confidence that becomes ours as we rest in who Christ is and what he has done. Through engaging stories, wise insights, and biblical clarity, Rebekah consistently brings us back to what matters most: True confidence is not found in self-assurance but in a personal, abiding relationship with Jesus Christ.”
—Jonathan D. Holmes, executive director, Fieldstone Counseling
“If you have ever felt unconfident, identity confused, or hopelessly messed up, here is a book to gently guide you to what will steady your heart and compel you toward a life of purpose. Rebekah Hannah's new book, The Secret to Confidence, opened my eyes to fresh insights about my identity and union with Jesus that caused deep biblical truths to somehow drop down more deeply into my heart. I hope it will for you too!”
—Ellen Mary Dykas, Bible teacher and author of Toxic Relationships: Taking Refuge in Christ
“Modern identity creation is exhausting, while having our identity in Christ often feels like a tired trope shaped by our desire for self-esteem. Using honest, authentic stories, Hannah anchors the static idea of identity in the dynamic reality of Jesus. She moves us from simply knowing the theological position to experiencing the relief of active confidence in the only Person who determines our stability when we cannot.”
—Dr. Michael Keller, senior pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church-Lincoln Square
“Rebekah Hannah reminds us that confidence is not found by looking inward, but instead by fixing our eyes on the person and work of Jesus Christ. With humility and humor, she weaves biblical insight and counseling wisdom into an accessible, practical, and richly pastoral resource. I read The Secret to Confidence during a season of sorrow and discouragement—I was convicted, challenged, comforted, and ultimately led to a renewed confidence in Christ. I believe you will be too.”
—Eric M. Schumacher, author of The Good Gift of Weakness: God’s Strength Made Perfect in the Story of Redemption
“As someone who works with teens often and knows quite well the roller-coaster ride of identity formation, this book feels like a breath of fresh air. It puts words to what I aim to communicate. I'm grateful for Bekah's gentle yet clear reminder that our identity can never be in performance, experience, or role; instead, we must root ourselves in the Giver of our identity. This book helps readers better understand what that means in everyday life and the freedom it brings as we place our confidence in Christ.”
—Kristin L. Kellen, EdD, PhD, associate professor of biblical counseling, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
“Even though I am fully aware of what the source of my identity should be as a believer, at the time I picked up this book, I was in a season of paralyzing insecurity. Do you, like me, long to be filled with confidence but find your container a bit leaky? My friend Rebekah Hannah gently and graciously exposes the holes in our faulty thinking—and then patches them with gospel truth that bridges the gap between our heads and our hearts. What emerges is a working theology that actually holds. Bekah disarmingly goes first—laughing at herself, magnifying Christ, and inviting us to stop looking inward for confidence and start receiving it from a source far more secure than ourselves.”
—Abbey Wedgeworth, author of Help! I'm Ruining My Kids and the Training Young Hearts series
