Posers, Fakers, and Wannabes: Unmasking the Real You was published by NavPress in 2003 (182 pages), written by Manning with Jim Hancock, a youth worker and writer for adolescents. It adapts Abba's Child (1994) for teenagers and students: the impostor self that performs for approval, and the freedom of grace to be who one really is before God. NavPress reissued it in 2014.
