“But perhaps that’s one of the gifts of doing any kind of sustained, prayerful self-reflection—taking an unflinching look at who you used to be and then loving yourself anyway.”

- Ruth Everhart, Ruined

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:

The old has gone, the new is here!

2 Corinthians 5:17

Dear Reader,

When I first started this project, I titled it Letters to My Former Self, and it was meant to be an epistolary memoir of sorts written from my current life as a follower of Jesus to my former atheist self. You’ll still find these letters strewn throughout this book, however, I felt called to ask some of my fellow Jesus followers to also share their own letters written to the people they used to be. I’ve since titled this project Letters to Our Former Selves, and I’m excited for you to dive in and see how God always has a beautiful plan for our lives–one where we have the privilege of intimacy with Him, even in the wake of our past missteps.

May you continue to keep moving away from the person you used to be to the person He’s created you to be.

Talk soon,

Ericka
