Is the Image You Reflect Distorted or Divine?
A revelation of God's character will change you from the inside out

LONGWOOD, FL-God created man in His image with the intent that man would reflect that image. Man, however, chose not to follow this example and rebelled. Through sin, the image of God has become distorted, and what is reflected in most of man's personal relationships is a varying degree of that distortion. In Leona England Karni's In His Image ($10.99, paperback, 978-1-60266-849-2), a study of the history of biblical families, the distorted image these biblical characters passed on is examined. Of special interest are the choices they made and the consequences of those choices within their families. Each chapter concludes with a comparison of the image that man reflected to the example God has set. Personal application questions are designed to challenge one to consider the image they are reflecting in their families and personal relationships.

Says Karni, "[My book] will encourage the reader to consider how the image of God may have been distorted in their lives and challenge them to study His Word for a greater revelation of His character. Through cooperation with the Holy Spirit and the study of God's Word, we can be transformed and reflect the image of Christ in our world."

Growing up in an environment where God's image was greatly distorted by an alcoholic father, Karni has experienced the transforming power of the Holy Spirit in her personal life as she learned and applied the truth of God's Word. In her pain of rejection and isolation, God reached out to her, ministering His love, grace, healing, and restoration.

Leona England Karni earned a masterŐs degree in Middle Eastern Studies from Jerusalem University College in Israel.
