Who are you becoming because of Jesus Christ?

Many disciples spend years studying what Christ did, what Christ taught, and what Christ asks of His followers. Yet a deeper question often remains unexplored: Who does Christ intend us to become?

In the Gospel of John, Jesus makes seven remarkable declarations about His identity.
"I am the bread of life."
"I am the light of the world."
"I am the door."
"I am the good shepherd."
"I am the resurrection and the life."
"I am the way, the truth, and the life."
"I am the true vine."

These statements reveal far more than who Jesus is. They also reveal who His disciples can become through covenant relationship with Him.

Author Taylor Halverson, Ph.D., draws upon scripture, ancient Near Eastern context, Jewish history, the teachings of the Restoration, and practical discipleship, From "I Am" to "We Become" to explore the transformative relationship between Christ's seven identities and the seven identities that emerge in those who follow Him.

Each chapter examines one of Christ's "I Am" declarations and answers a powerful question:
If Christ is the Bread of Life, who do we become?
If Christ is the Light of the World, who do we become?
If Christ is the Good Shepherd, who do we become?
If Christ is the True Vine, who do we become?

Inside this book you will discover:
• The Old Testament foundations behind each "I Am" statement
• Historical and cultural insights that illuminate John's Gospel
• Connections to temple worship, covenant discipleship, and Restoration doctrine
• Practical habits that shape spiritual transformation
• Reflection questions and measurable actions for personal growth
• A framework for understanding how Christ changes those who come unto Him

As disciples receive His nourishment, light, guidance, care, life, truth, and power, they gradually become people who nourish, illuminate, guide, care, strengthen, align, and bless others. The seven identities of Christ become the seven identities of His covenant people. If you have ever wondered what spiritual growth actually looks like, this book offers a clear answer: We become like the One we follow.
