Unleashing the Image of God : Discovering Your Identity, Purpose, Vocation, and Character

Young adults today face an identity crisis. They can fill their social media bios with half a dozen labels, but they lack a coherent sense of self. Christian college students often feel a disconnect between their faith and everyday life. It's no coincidence that these emerging adults struggle with mental health and self-worth. In Unleashing the Image of God, experienced educator Perry Glanzer combines original qualitative research and the Christian theological tradition to help readers rediscover their core identity: image bearers of God. Readers will discover ● what it means to bear the image of God in identity, purpose, vocation, and character; ● how to break free from the anxiety of self-definition in an age of endless identity options; ● the God-given worth and dignity of themselves and others; ● ways to connect Christian faith to everyday life, decision-making, and calling; and ● how to cultivate the virtues and moral character of an image bearer of God. This brief yet profound guide frees readers from the burden of self-definition and empowers them to discover God's purpose for their lives.
