Sayers reveals how our primary way of knowing ourselves is shallow and based horizontally – on our social relationships, possessions, and desires to be cool, sexy and glamorous. Using countless examples from the hip-streets of Tokyo to the rooms of a Catholic monastery, this book calls for a return to a vertical self, which identity is based on our understanding of being made in the image of God. Caught in the tension between the horizontal and vertical callings, the difficult solution is to live a life of radical holiness, and discover our true selves.<\/span> (source<\/a>)<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

The vertical self<\/a> \/Mark Sayers.<\/span> <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

Sayers reveals how our primary way of knowing ourselves is shallow and based horizontally – on our social relationships, possessions, and desires to be cool, sexy and glamorous. Using countless examples from the hip-streets of Tokyo to the rooms of a Catholic monastery, this book calls for a return to a vertical self, which identity is based on our understanding of being made in the image of God. Caught in the tension between the horizontal and vertical callings, the difficult solution is to live a life of radical holiness, and discover our true selves.<\/span> (source<\/a>)<\/p>\n
