I'm the Worst: How Freedom Is Found in Admitting Our Faults

By Nathan Clarkson

Actor and filmmaker Clarkson (A Good Man) urges Christians to accept their inherent weakness in order to live more faithfully. --Publishers Weekly

Many in today's society have fallen into the trap of finger-pointing and casting blame on others--the other party, the other team, the other tribe, the other belief system. It has become natural to assume that everything wrong with the world is "their" fault. Christians are often quick to point out the lower moral standards of others, but deep down even the most devout followers of Jesus know the truth: They are no better than the people they blame.

Nathan Clarkson provides an unlikely perspective on the us-versus-them mindset prevalent in our culture. He asks, What if we turned the finger-pointing toward ourselves? What if in recognizing that we are not good, we can find relief, peace, and freedom from the pressure of achieving our own righteousness?

In I'm the Worst, readers are encouraged to choose the difficult road of introspection that pulls their gaze from the sins of others to their very own sin, ultimately leading to a more beautiful life and a more beautiful world.
