I love the fact that Jesus sets us free from a constant life of pretending to be something we are not. And I love the fact that this book helps us see it more clearly. | This is a terrific little book. What makes it so helpful is the sheer honesty with which McDonald writes. It's got such a light touch that disarms the defensiveness that inevitably arises when we start trying to be honest about ourselves. | Nicholas McDonald's Faker is a fast-paced and humorous exposure of how many of us live every day--faking it. It will make you both uncomfortably honest and honestly comfortable as he takes you through the dangers of pretending and performing as well as the balm of gospel remedies. If you want to be challenged and encouraged in the freedom of living 'real,' take up and read! | Nicholas MacDonald’s new book, Faker: How to live for Real When You’re Tempted to Fake It is a fantastic little resource for students, either high school or college. I say little because it’s only about 70 pages long and completely not overwhelming or intimidating. He writes personably and shares plenty of anecdotes to connect well with readers. | In his book Faker: How to Live for Real When You’re Tempted to Fake It, McDonald tackles the core issues of identity and being real. He does so in a way that’s approachable for your average preteen to early college-age youth. | Short, punchy, dignified, well-written, and full of silly but interesting Wimpy-Kid-style illustrations, Faker is an excellent little book and one your teens (or perhaps even you) will benefit from. | It’s a very readable little book offering a refreshing and practical invitation to reject a life of “faking it,” for the \"real reality\" that knowing Jesus brings. Faker is humorously laced with McDonald’s own story, including typically teenage struggles (as well as present battles), but the heart of his book sees him explain and apply the short parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, which Jesus tells in Luke 18:9-14. | Nick has worked in youth ministry for 5 years, studied  communication and creative writing at Olivet Nazarene and Oxford University, and has traveled and spoken to youth internationally at retreats, graduations, and Christian schools.
