True Face 2
I finished reading the book True Faced, and I thought it was very good! It had a lot of information that you could learn about, and read in-depth about. A lot of what the book talks about is how Christians wear "masks" to hide their sin and mistakes from others, and sometimes put on a show to make themselves look different than they really are. This book explains that you don't need to wear masks or try to be somebody else, and that the masks just pile up over time. A quote from the book is, "I also cannot give love from behind a mask, at least not love from the real me." This quote shows that wearing a mask will hide yourself from others, and you can't be yourself while wearing one. Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to read a good and challenging book!

ReplyDeleteI read a similar book about a year ago called "Grace For The Good Girl" and the one thing that has stuck with me from that book was that is said-whenever someone puts on a mask, the mask gets all the love, and the person behind it never gets any. I really like this thought because when you think about why people like you, if there is a mask, you realize they only like the false perceptions of you, not the real person behind the mask. Kind of like what you quoted, that its hard to give love, except hard to get love too.
