chosen in love
is the story of a young
woman who was full of anger, fear, guilt, and shame. She used anger to
deal with her pain. After the Lord entered her life, He gently unfolded
truth to her, memory by memory, while giving her the needed strength to
extend and receive forgiveness. Her trust in the Lord deepened as she
yielded to His leading and took steps of faith that ultimately led her
around the world in His service. He redirected the energy of her anger
to fight for exploited children in Thailand; she developed a ministry
that prevented 12 year-old girls from entering the slave market by
enabling them to continue their government education. In Africa, she
trained leaders to work with children traumatized by war and ministered
to teen soldiers. She reached out to Palestinian children in the Middle
East by developing summer camp programs, and she pioneered a Bible
College extension campus for Christian Arabs in East Jerusalem. But as
she traveled the world ministering to others, God was working deep
inside her taking her spirit on its own journey: an inward journey from the
bondage of anger to the freedom of His love. The silent work of God
broke the shackles of fear and anger that had held her captive for a
lifetime. Eventually, He led her home again to care for both her mother
(who had been the object of much of her anger), and her younger brother
who was dying of cancer. In caring for these two family members during
their last days here on earth, she received what she had struggled for
all her life—acceptance and love.

In His
Image
is a collection of
studies based upon the premise that God created man in His image
with the intent that man reflect that image. God has always set
a perfect example of a loving father for man to follow. 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 this 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.

a su imagen
La premisa básica de esta colección de estudios es que Dios creó
al hombre a Su imagen con la intención de que el hombre
reflejara esa imagen. Dios siempre ha puesto un perfecto ejemplo
de un padre amoroso para que el hombre lo siguiera. El hombre,
sin embargo, decidió no seguir este ejemplo y se rebeló. A
través del pecado la imagen de Dios se ha distorsionado, y lo
que es reflejado en la mayoría de las relaciones personales del
hombre es una variada gradación de esa distorsión. En este
estudio de las historias de las familias bíblicas, la imagen
distorsionada que tienen estos personajes bíblicos es examinada.
De especial interés son las decisiones que toman y las
consecuencias dentro de sus familias a causa de esas decisiones.
Cada capítulo concluye con una comparación entre la imagen que
el hombre refleja y el ejemplo que Dios ha puesto. Las preguntas
de aplicación personal están diseñadas para retarlo a uno a
considerar la imagen que está reflejando en su familia y en las
relaciones personales.
