{"product_id":"the-vertical-self","title":"The Vertical Self","description":"\u003cp\u003eIts time for a return to Radical Holiness.  Welcome to the 21st century where you can now purchase and exchange personalities  depending on mood and circumstance; where you are told that you can be anyone you want to be  and identity is no longer based in a sense of self but rather in the imagery you choose at that moment.  The Bible contains a radically different way of understanding our identity. The path that God has chosen for us to discover who we really are is the path of holiness. The most exciting thing is that this path is not for otherworldy saints  rather it is a path of earthy  gutsy holiness. Its a path that is not about basing your life on this world or of shunning your desires. Instead  it is about bringing your hopes  your dreams  your brokenness  your desires  your humanness under the Lordship of Christ. By doing this we dont just discover a new way of living out our faith  we discover a liberating  revolutionary  life-embracing way of being truly human.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964664999989,"sku":"ByrdShop_0849920000","price":27.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780849920004.jpg?v=1770474625","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-vertical-self","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
