In His Image Matthew Smith

In His Image is the next step for those who have read The Purpose Driven Life. Following the Life Purpose of Mission, this book explores God's great love for humanity from every book of the Bible. From the creation of Genesis to the culmination in Revelation, God's love shines through every page. Never is this ever clearer than in the times of Israel's great betrayal of their God. His passionate pursuit of His children can be heard dripping from his voice as He calls them (and us by proxy) back to His shelter and protection. This book was written ... ¿ To convince the reader of God's intense and immense love for them; ¿ To encourage the reader to reach out to the God who is passionately in love with them; ¿ To strengthen the reader's faith in God's compassion; and ¿ To motivate the reader to share the love of God with every person they meet. It is very clear God loves people of all races and ethnicities. Therefore, whenever appropriate to the passage of the day, emphasis is made on the issue of racial reconciliation around God's love. His love becomes the motivation for evangelism and for community. In each daily devotional ...¿ There is a Biblical Scripture they are encouraged to read; ¿ There is a passage of Scripture to read in the devotional itself; ¿ There is the devotional to read which focuses the reader on a single thought, broken into two, three or four practical ideas they can utilize that day in their lives; and ¿ There is a thought to take with the reader each day which summarizes the theme concerning God's great love for them.
