In His Image

"In the book In His Image, Sam Polson carries the reader on a journey that challenges us to realize our destiny and purpose for life. As 'iron sharpeneth iron, ' we find ways to appreciate and respect God's image in others through the mirror of the Word. Pastor Polson also challenges us to realize how the enemy desires to mar Christ's image in our quest to reveal Him to the world. I challenge you to read and grow into the likeness of our Creator and Redeemer. In His Image will inspire, educate, and guide you in that sacred process."

- Rev. Sam Phillips, Church of God
