The Serpent and the Mirror -Ebook

Every meaningful journey eventually reaches a mirror.

In The Serpent and the Mirror, J. Steve Bruner invites you into one of the oldest stories in Scripture—not simply the story of a serpent in a garden, but the story of every human heart. The serpent still whispers. The mirror still reflects. And somewhere between deception and truth, we discover who we are becoming.

This is a book about the false self and the true self. About the masks we wear, the stories we tell ourselves, and the quiet courage required to see ourselves honestly. Drawing from Scripture, the Enneagram, psychology, neuroscience, and the contemplative tradition, Bruner gently leads readers beyond shame and self-condemnation into self-awareness, grace, and transformation.

Rather than offering easy answers, The Serpent and the Mirror helps you recognize the patterns that keep you from becoming the person God created you to be. It is an invitation to move from illusion to reality, from fear to freedom, and from simply believing the truth to living it.

Part of The Soulprint Trilogy, this short, engaging book is designed to be read slowly and experienced deeply. It works seamlessly with the interactive Soulprint app, audiobook, and reflection exercises, creating a journey that continues long after the final page.

If Book One awakens you to the journey, The Serpent and the Mirror teaches you how to see yourself with fresh eyes—because transformation begins the moment we have the courage to look honestly into the mirror.
