Spiritual Identity Theft Distracts Us from God-Given Purpose

Author exposes soul-stealing Satan's objective: destroying our worth.

Longwood, FL (PRWEB) January 27, 2008 -- As any victim of identity theft can tell you, your identity is the most valuable thing that can be stolen. So it's no wonder Satan is aggressively yet subtly trying to rob God's people of their spiritual identity and purpose--and it is no accident that many of them don't know who they are or why they are here. In Carole Whitfield Shannon's Spiritual Identity Theft and God's Plan for Transformation: One Woman's Spiritual Path to Finding and Reclaiming Her True Identity (paperback, 978-1-60477-316-3; hardcover, 978-1-60477-317-0), the author exposes the spiritual aspect of identity theft by uncovering the plan of Satan to destroy our sense of worth and significance and to distract us from discovering and fulfilling our God-given purpose.

Says Shannon, "The book is newsworthy because it addresses and exposes on a spirit level the real crime that is taking place with what is widely known as 'identity theft.' While we are busy safeguarding ourselves from identity theft as it pertains to a loss of buying power, the enemy is busy stealing our very souls. This book is a tool to challenge the reader to answer the very important questions of identity and purpose in their own lives for the purpose of kingdom building."

Throughout Shannon's career, a sense of fulfillment and need to express all she knew God created her to be through purpose eluded her. It became a hunger for her to do so, especially when she saw many people like herself who were very talented but frustrated because they were underutilized or wrongly placed in the work they did. As a result, she became a student on the subject of identity. This book is the story of her search and research toward finding answers to the questions of identity and purpose.
