About Faker

Review "This is a terrific little book whose brevity belies its wisdom. What makes it so helpful is the sheer honesty with which McDonald writes. It's got such a light touch that disarms the defensiveness that inevitably arises when we start trying to be honest about ourselves."-Richard Lints, Andrew Much Distinguished Professor of Theology, Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary"Nicholas McDonald's Faker is a fast-paced and humorous exposure of how many of us live every day--faking it. It will make you both uncomfortably honest and honestly comfortable as he takes you through the dangers of pretending and performing as well as the balm of gospel remedies. If you want to be challenged and encouraged in the freedom of living 'real,' take up and read!"-Brian Cosby, author of Giving Up Gimmicks: Reclaiming Youth Ministry from an Entertainment Culture"This is precisely the kind of book I would have loved to use with the small groups of high schoolers I used to lead. It would be perfect for college students. I strongly recommend this book to you as a reader and for use in ministry." -Barnabas Piper, Author of The Pastor's Kid and Help My Unbelief"We made Faker our camp book on CYFA venture I'm just back from leading. Took 30 copies and sold out! Almost half the camp are going home with the book. It's certainly touched a nerve, thanks!" -Christian Camp Leader, UK "This is a great book. I love the fact that Jesus sets us free from a constant life of pretending to be something we are not. And I love the fact that this book helps us see it more clearly." -Jonty Allcock, Pastor, Speaker and Author of Lost, Hero and Fearless Product Description Have you ever felt like a faker? Facebook, Twitter and Instagram allow us to paint beautiful pictures of our lives. But many of us feel like fakers. If people really knew who we were, what would they think? Would they still care? What would life look like if we stopped pretending? This book not only explores that question, but provides the thrilling answer found in a short story told 2,000 years ago. This richly illustrated book for teens and older brings the power of this exciting story to bear on our modern lives.
