Authentic Christian Living – Discovering the Real You through a Heart Relationship with the Savior
Pablo Giacopelli invites the reader to join him on his spiritual journey; one that is taking him on a path to learning to live from his heart; fully integrated with his humanity and his mind. In Part I of the book he builds the foundation to show why living from the heart is so important to our journey. In Part II Pablo becomes vulnerable as he shares a true account of who he is, as he lives out this new reality.
Each chapter ends with a prayer and a point of action. These became a high point of my reading experience, as I was moved to reflect on what I had read and to intentionally contemplate specific actions I could take; that would move me from trying to live out a performance based religion to move beyond man made rules to fully experience the peace and happiness that God has placed within me.
One thing that makes “The Modern Fig Leaf” so unique is Pablo’s eagerness to put aside all pretenses and the masks he has been wearing to share the lessons he has been learning about living from a loving heart relationship. The reality of his personal relationship with God comes across as he respectfully, lovingly addresses the heavenly father simply as “Dad.”
“The Modern Fig Leaf – Uncovering Your True Identity” will open the spiritual eyes of the reader to a new perspective of living life in the reality of the “now,” while discovering a new and deeper heart relationship with Abba Father.
A complimentary copy of this book was provided for review purposes. The opinions expressed are my own.
