Remade: Embracing Your Complete Identity in Christ

“These meditations are crammed with the best of practical theology, and I know that each one has been put into practice by the author”

“If you have ever wondered what it means to be “in Christ,” my friend Paul Tautges offers a healthy guide that unpacks who we are as blood-bought children of God. And his new book Remade has arrived just in time, given the way so many people—Christians, even—are searching for their true identity. Paul explains how understanding our position in Christ not only shapes our future but also gives meaning and power to our struggle against sin and perseverance through suffering. This excellent volume is must-reading for anyone who feels they need help in becoming the person Jesus wants them to be. I highly recommend it!”

“Few matters are more important to the Christian life than the matter of identity. We live best before the Lord when we know who and what we are in him. And this is exactly the subject of this lovely series of meditations from my friend Paul Tautges. As you read it, you will learn who you are in Jesus Christ, you will learn how he provides all that you truly need, and you will learn why it is fitting that you submit to his good and perfect will, even (or especially) when that will involves suffering and sorrow. This is a book that blessed me and one I am certain will bless you as well.”

“Remade offers biblically rich and relevant reflections on what it means to be a redeemed child of God. Readers will be comforted, instructed, and warmly invited to rest in the identity Jesus gives to them. I see Remade becoming a go-to resource for discipleship and small group contexts as well as individual study. Its devotions are concise yet substantive, and Paul’s frequent use of personal illustrations is incredibly refreshing.”

“Tautges serves as an outstanding guide as he helps us to meditate on treasured biblical truths that help us to grow in godliness. This book will help you to renew your mind, which will lead to a renewed and changed life.”

“John Calvin said that nearly all our wisdom consists of knowing who God is and who we are. And knowing who we are—if we are in Christ by a Spirit-wrought faith—is complicated. For believers are sinners against God, saints in Christ, sufferers in a fallen world, and sons and daughters headed for glory. Paul Tautges helps Christians to meditate on these wonderful truths so that we can live in a way that fits who we are, a life worthy of our calling for the glory of God alone.”

“This little book is a gold mine of help because the first step toward greater courage and hope is greater clarity on who we are and what God has promised to do in us and through us for his glory. Read it slowly—then live it joyfully and boldly.”

“Remade is what a true devotional is meant to be—warmly engaging and doctrinally rich, both personally relatable and Christ-centered. Highly recommended for anyone who desires a devotional with real biblical depth.”

“Not only does Paul Tautges bring inspiration and courage, he also provides practical application for talking to yourself, talking to God, and talking to others. I am excited to introduce our congre- gation and counselees to this helpful resource.”

“An accessible resource for understanding foundational truths about yourself. The short but focused meditations are easy to incorporate into your busy life, and the thoughtful reflection questions provide you with opportunities for personal growth.”

“Remade offers ninety meditations on the topic of personal identity in relation to the Christian life. With a delicate use of outside guides, this book contains some wonderful pearls of wisdom coupled with the basic truths we need to hear again and again.”

“Every one of these devotions provides practical scriptural encouragement and a hopeful perspective on our identity as sinners, saints, and sufferers.”

“ We live in a society where experience determines identity. Because Christians are “in Christ,” he is our identity! Sinfulness and suffering should never define who we are. In this tremendously helpful book, Paul Tautges provides a well-organized and systematized study of how to regain a biblical view of self and move forward to honor the Lord. I strongly recommend it for careful study!”

“With his keen knowledge of the Bible, Paul Tautges will instruct you and grow your understanding of God’s Word. With a pastor’s heart, he will gently attend to your soul. He will be a counselor to you as he poses incisive questions that will lead you to greater insight. He will be a faithful brother to you as he points you to the Faithful One. Enjoy! You will be blessed.”
