LifeandLeadership.com Summary
This is a brief booklet (64 pages) from True Face that builds on the insights of character development from Ascent of a Leader / Beyond Your Best where the authors discuss the effect of unresolved sin, our own or someone else’s, on character development in leaders. The essential effect is a mask of one sort or another that takes exhausting effort to maintain emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Most often this expresses itself in a performance trap that keeps one from facing the harsh realities about oneself.
See also the supportive resources under the title Truefaced, which equip leaders to find and build the community of grace that is necessary for spiritual authenticity.
From the Publisher
The act of sin – ours or someone else’s – creates within us an involuntary response of either guilt or hurt, which leads to the inevitable effects of pain, turmoil, and mask wearing. Understanding how to reverse the process of unresolved life issues is what Behind the Mask is all about.
