From the Author

Why I wrote "Changed Into His Image"

My target "audience" for this book was my own three daughters.

I wanted to place in their hands the information they needed to disciple their own children in the next generation. To many people trying to make progress in their Christian life is like trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle without looking at the picture on the box. "Changed Into His Image" attempts to show them the "big picture" of how God intends for them to change and grow. My prayer is that through clear biblical teaching and practical examples you can know how to build an intimate relationship with God--the "missing piece" in the experience of many believers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT and very down to earth book on becoming Christ-like, April 3, 2000

This review is from: Changed into His Image: God's Plan for Transforming Your Life (Paperback)

Jim Berg has done a superb job in writing about the subject of sanctification. Down through the years, sanctification (how the Christian is progressively changed so that he or she is more like Christ) has often been misunderstood and misrepresented by preachers and believers alike.

Today, more than ever before, many believers and even pastors donÕt correctly understand this vital subject. The author, rather than using a lot of difficult theological terminology, has used many practical examples from everyday life to to show the believer how he can truly change. Through out the book, he points the believer to GodÕs Word which truly does have the answers for any believer who wants to become more like Christ.

If you donÕt have a clear picture of how you can change and become more like Christ, this is the book for you. If your Christian life has become stale, this book will no doubt open you eyes to your need for REAL, LASTING CHANGE. The author will show you how you can get more out of GodÕs Word and develop a closer relationship to the Lord.

This book is written in a way that it will be very helpful, to parents, pastors, and disciplers, alike. ÒChanged into His ImageÓt will be a real asset to anyone who wants to become more like Christ or anyone who wants to help someone else along this life changing path. I highly recommend this book.

This review is from: Changed into His Image: God's Plan for Transforming Your Life (Paperback)

More than a few people have recommended this book as a tool to grow in Christ. And I have read this book and been amazed at Jim Berg's clear understanding of the Scripture and gifted ability to express that in a way that causes the believer to think and change.

Changed Into His Image is Bible-based and yet it is clear and relevant to life situations. For all those who wish to become like Christ, who want to experience more than rote Christianity, who wish be something for God, this book is a must.

What makes this book good is that it is systematic, well organized and personal. He has riveting, dead-on illustrations that bring the Scriptures to life.

I would whole-heartedly reccommend this book to anyone who wishes to advance in God's kingdom. It is the most thoroughly, Bible-based book on Christian growth I have ever come in contact with. It is great not only for personal study, but for group lessons and youth sessions.

Make a small investment, buy this book and watch it change your life.
