      What did God have in mind when he created you? Are you there yet? Based on the author's own sometimes difficult spiritual journey, The Naked Christian pulls no punches. In colorful conversational style, teaching pastor Doug Brendel pokes holes in our classic Christian cover-ups - many of which we don't even realize we're wearing - and helps you truly discover "the dream God dreamed when he first dreamed you up!" How do you feel about God when you're hurting? How do you rationalize your failures? How do you know if God is going to answer your next prayer? These and other sometimes-ticklish issues are already shaping your faith and your life. By examining 13 of Christ's most intriguing conversations, The Naked Christian will help you see your faith as it really is and guide you into the fullness of God's ideal design for your life.
