Exchanging Mirrors: A Call to Embrace Your Gospel-Given Identity

From Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ.

So begins the epistle of Peter to the early church, a group of Christ-followers facing imminent and intense persecution. In the face of certain suffering, Peter gave the encouragement of hope in the reality of the gospel. The gospel was, and is, the only source of stability in a world of uncertainty, and to the scattered believers this was their anchoring assurance.

Many women, however, are no longer content with this understanding of the gospel. Salvation has been repurposed as a self-improvement program or a means to having a happier life. The intersection of truth and deception forced by this worldview is blurred except when understood through the plumb line of the gospel.

In Exchanging Mirrors, Katherine Hager encourages women to closely examine Peter's claims about the gospel and its implications for a Christ-follower's identity.
