When God looks at you, what is the image that He sees? And how can we see ourselves the way He does?
Our lives are God’s masterpiece – and He deeply enjoys the process of relational development in us that reveals it. He is passionate for us to perceive clearly the beautiful and powerful image of our true identity in Christ that is already his reality.
But far too often, we’ve settled for a less valuable, inauthentic copy of the life we thin God is asking of us. Difficult experiences, poor histories and a host of other negatives have defined us in ways that are not an accurate image of what God sees when He looks at you.
For many years, Allison Bown and Graham Cooke have partnered together in exploring this lifestyle, teaching and training people in their true identity in Christ – seeing astonishing, lasting transformation. In The Image, Allison translates these discoveries, along with her own experience and wisdom, into writing that will allow you to have a greater encounter of life from God’s perspective.
A guidebook is included to allow you to convert what you’re reading into everyday life with God. You’ll discover your Identity Statement and how it can keep you anchored into The Image of you that makes God smile every time He looks at you.
Is there a higher perspective of God’s true identity and yours hat you’ve yet to see?
