In His Image (Paperback or Softback)

What people are saying about In His Image...

"In the writing of In His Image, Pastor Polson not only does a wonderful job showing us what it means to be made in the image of God, but he also provides us with very practical steps that will help us in this transformation process. I think you will find this book to be a positive step in seeing God transform you into His image!"

-- Mark Kirk, Pastor of Calvary Knoxville (Knoxville, Tennessee)

"In a culture awash with self-identity talk, Pastor Sam Polson directs us to the truest identity of all - our Creator and Redeemer, the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. By successfully combining insightful theology and pastoral warmth, In His Image will enrich the reader's walk with God. I can see this book being particularly helpful for any Sunday school class, small group meeting, or in-home Bible study."

-- Dr. Greg Baker, Pastor of Fellowship Bible Church (Liberty, Utah)

"Beyond the profound and fascinating way in which Pastor Sam Polson takes us along the thread of the significance and practical implications of the theme of God's image in Scripture, In His Image is a book that springs as much from the study and living out of those truths, as from a rich experience of pastoral service. The book awakens us to a simple truth, old but always relevant, that the purpose and passion of God is seeing humans transformed in His image, an image fully revealed in Christ. This is the fundamental challenge of the Gospel, to which no one can remain neutral."

"Pastor Sam endeared Romania (together with his wife Susan they have a son adopted from Suceava), has been involved for many years together with West Park Baptist Church in Christian mission in our country, and I am honored by his friendship and service together. I am grateful that In His Image is available in Romanian."

-- Pastor Eugen Groza, Bethany Baptist Church (Timișoara, Romania)

"Each of us lives our daily lives based on how we answer two essential human questions, 'Who am I?' and 'Why am I here?' In His Image invites us to revisit and reframe our answers to these foundational questions. For readers who have ears to hear the Spirit speak through His Word, there is the promise of new life in the present and new hope for the future as we gain new perspectives on what it means to be fully human in Christ."

-- Rick Dunn, Pastor of Fellowship Church Knoxville (Knoxville, Tennessee

"Coram Deo is a Latin phrase translated in the presence of God, and defines how my friend Sam Polson submits to Christ and His kingdom. In this book, Pastor Sam provides a fresh and stimulating insight into the beautiful, biblical doctrine of Imago Dei, the image of God, while giving the reader the tools needed to REAP the word. In His Image is a book I highly recommend to assist in family worship, private devotion, or personal study."

-- Dr. David Trempe, Pastor of Westminster Chapel (Knoxville, Tennessee)
