Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. I loved this and would give it 4.5 stars if possible. More extensive thoughts can be found here, but in brief: 1. This book has theological heft, yet it expresses doctrines with a beautifully light touch that can reach relatively young or unread Christians as well as those who have studied theology for years. A rare achievement! 2. Like the very best-written theology, it left me with a sense that the way I move through the world from now on will be different, with deeper love for my Creator. 3. As I'm sure other reviewers have said, it is a refreshing contribution to the shelves of Christian books geared toward women, in that it pushes beyond the usual questions and categories to remind us in Whose image we are made. no reviews | add a review

HTML: Who are you, really? In an uncertain world, we crave the security of knowing exactly who we are and where we belong. But too often as women, we try to find this safety in our roles and relationships, our professional accomplishments, or our picture-perfect homes. And as we do, our souls shrink smaller and smaller. It's because these things aren't made to hold us. In Made for More, Hannah Anderson invites you to re-imagine yourself, not simply as a set of roles and categories, but as a person destined to live in the fullness of God Himself. Starting with our first identity as image bearers, Hannah shows how Jesus Christ makes us people who can reflect His nature through our unique callings. She also explores how these deeper truths affect the practical realities that we face as womenâ??how does being an image bearer shape our pursuit of education, our work, and even our desire for holistic lives? Because you are made in God's image, you will only ever know yourselfâ??only ever be yourselfâ??as you find your identity in Him. Find it No library descriptions found. |

Was anything original? Eh. The concept of living the life God has ordained for you has been talked about in books a lot. But I really appreciated the talk of being an image bearer. It looks different for everyone....and it will look different during different seasons of life as well. Career or kids. I need to be living in the fullness Christ has for me. End of story. ( )
