Morgan Wistling's superlative paintings are flawlessly reproduced with each image enhanced by an accompanying passage of inspirational scripture and/or poetry. Simply browsing through his beautiful volume evokes a sense of peace, harmony, spiritual sensitivity and commitment. The Image Of Christ is further enhanced for the reader with an index of the poems and prose, and index of the poets and authors, and an index of the scriptural quotations. The Image Of Christ is a superlative work and very highly commended to all members of the Christian community of faith.

Morgan Weistling's "The Image of Christ" displays his paintings of Scripture, complete with the subjects' emotions. I've never seen anything like it. Vivid moods and moments snag the heart and hold on tight. Some bring tears; others must be put off for later, so powerful are their silent messages. My first impressions of one, for example:
Jesus returns with the lost sheep draped across His shoulders, holding fast to his feet in case this wayward one decides he can make it home on his own. His simple smile shows relief and understanding, even for one so careless as to leave the flock in the first place. Love for all, yet love for each; care for the careless, and rest for the wanderer. The two are inseparable in Christ.
If you've read this far, "The Image of Christ" belongs in your life and on your gift list!

This illustrator has captured the essence of the intimate family life of Jesus and you become an observer of God most human and most divine. We rarely become engaged with the first steps of Jesus, the reality of who Mary was kissing as many of us have kissed our own children. Morgan Weistling places us there with God as a child and his work is truly a gift from above.

I liked this book so much!! Morgan Weistling is an AMAZING artist. I have looked through it several times and can't imagine getting tired of it. I like to show some of these pictures to my sunday school students or even the little children in the nursery since they make good visuals and encourage good conversation with them. If I could afford to, I would buy a few of Morgan's paintings and hang them on my walls.
