I Am Not But I Know I Am

Reprints always beg the question: why?

For this book the answer is simple … because inside is a message that is still relevant, still important and still life-changing. But more importantly, it’s a message that is a well-written book articulated with accuracy.

Louie Giglio, pastor and author and founder of the Passion movement, his become a name associated with good preaching. He has a gift for communicating God’s message in various ways. The mostly likely way you would’ve heard his name would be from his Passion Talks series – a set of DVD teachings. They have been passed around Christian communities more than the collection plate.

In this skillfully written book, Louie communicates both a hard-hitting truth, and a revolutionary way to live. Embrace your insignificance, your ‘smallness’ and your soon to fade story – then discover God’s amazing story that he is inviting you to be a part of.

“God is always looking for ordinary people to play significant roles in His unfolding story. And, given that He is God and supremely confident in Himself, He is free to choose the least among us—the slowest, the lesser-known, the last, the smallest, the poorest—to accomplish amazing, God-sized stuff. While as humans we try to partner with the brightest and most powerful, God is simply looking for people who are willing to take Him at His word—those confident that with Him in the equation everything is possible.” (pp. 29-30)

What I most appreciate about this book is the tone of voice. Louie brilliantly weaves engaging narrative within every point, keeping your attention on every single page. His message is no theological thesis, nor is it watery and void of substance. It’s a healthy mix of engaging story and insightful wisdom. He constantly reminds us over and over, with story and metaphor, Bible stories and ponderings, that although we are insignificant, God loves us and gives our lives purpose and meaning.

In his introduction, Louie makes his books message and tone infinately clear:

“I could have opted to write this book as a treatise, a legal document to be debated and defended, or an exhaustive scriptural study. Instead, I chose to tell a story … inviting you into an already-in-motion epic account of a glorious and gracious God.”

So it’s over to you. Do you want to do the ordinary for yourself? Or do you want to do the extrodinary for God?

“Here’s a book with a curious title – ‘I Am Not But I Know I Am’. Before you think Louie Giglio needs a lesson in grammar, he’s in fact referring the very first time God reveals his name in the Bible where Moses asks who’s voice he can hear through the burning bush.”

“God called himself, ‘I Am Who I Am’. But what does that make us? In this reprint Louie’s popular book, he masterfully weaves together story and biblical wisdom creating a tapestry of creative thought. This book challenges you to embrace your smallness in the universe, whilst also inviting you to live in God’s already-in-motion epic story of greatness and grace.”

“Now with extra content, this simple, quick book will take speed reads less than a couple of hours to finish. But it’s bold, punchy and sobbering message will last much much longer.”

God is looking for ordinary people to play significant roles in His story.

Our God is more expansive and powerful than we could ever imagine, the all-mighty creator of galaxies beyond our reach. But He is also the loving creator who has formed and fashioned you. Yet, as valuable as you are to Him, God's best for your life is to invite you into a story that is all about Him.

In this intensely personal and highly motivating book, bestselling author, pastor, and Passion founder Louie Giglio shows you how to embrace your 'smallness' in light of God's greatness - and live with more meaning than you have ever dreamed possible.
