Being God's Image - Why Creation...

Carmen Joy Imes

What does it mean to be human?
This timeless question proves critical as we seek to understand our purpose, identity, and significance. Amidst the many voices clamoring to shape our understanding of humanity, the Bible reveals important truths related to our human identity and vocation that are critical to the flourishing of all of creation.
Carmen Joy Imes seeks to recover the theologically rich message of the creation narratives starting in the book of Genesis as they illuminate what it means to be human. Every human being is created as God's image. Imago Dei is our human identity, and God appointed humans to rule on God's behalf. Being God's Image explores the implications of this kinship relationship with God and considers what it means for our work, our gender relations, our care for creation, and our eternal destiny. The Bible invites us into a dramatically different quality of life: a beloved community in which we can know God and one another as we are truly known.
In Being God's Image, you'll find:

- Imes's clear, insightful exploration of our deepest questions: what it means to be human,
- A discussion guide for personal reflection or group study,
- Additional links to related video material through the BibleProject.

As A Man Thinketh

James Allen

Allen's most enduring classic.Mind is the Master power that moulds and makes,And Man is Mind, and evermore he takesThe tool of Thought, and, shaping what he wills,Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills: —He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass:Environment is but his looking-glass.Chapter 1 starts with this quote from the Dhammapada.The most popular and well-known of Allen's bestselling self-help books, As A Man Thinketh is a pocket companion for thoughtful people, about the power and right application of thought.Allen said the book deals "with the power of thought, and particularly with the use and application of thought to happy and beautiful issues. I have tried to make the book simple, so that all can easily grasp and follow its teaching, and put into practice the methods which it advises. It shows how, in his own thought-world, each man holds the key to every condition, good or bad, that enters into his life, and that, by working patiently and intelligently upon his thoughts, he may remake his life, and transform his circumstances. Available in over 2000 editions and a dozen languages, the aim of this tiny masterpiece was to create "A book that will help you to help yourself."-------------James Allen was on of the very earliest self-help gurus, blending Buddhist and Taoist thought in with the eminent practicality and groundedness of a Victorian Englishman, born in poverty, with a father murdered when he was 15. A quiet, gentle man, he spoke with a conviction that rings and resonates loud and clear, over a century later.
