His Image..My Image

This is a great book!! If you are feeling badly about yourself and cannot seem to see how you will ever achieve your dreams, then you MUST read this book. I have the hardback volume. I have kept this book on my shelf for years. As a child, I did not receive praise from my parents. In brief, I was surrounded by perfectionistic, critical, dysfunctional adults. My salvation was this book. I found it in my late twenties and it changed my life. But, I made one BIG mistake, I did not read the entire book. I just read enough to explain why I had such a poor internal feeling of self-worth. I thought if I understood why and whom was responsible,that I would be fine, but I wasn't. It was like putting a band aid on a child. Now, I am in my early forties and facing the same problems again. Actually, my life is a pattern of repeated failures in both my career goals and my relationships. Yesterday, something made me remember this book, (the power of prayer). I found it still on my shelf, despite frequent re-locations. I started reading it again, tonight and said to myself,"Wow, no wonder I've kept this book! It explains everything!". Not only will it reveal the answers to your feelings of self-doubt and poor self-worth, it will give you the steps you need to conquer those feelings and move forward to positive, self-affirming feelings. Trust me, this will be the best investment in time and money you will ever make. I am delighted to find that there is now a paperback edition, as I plan to purchase additional copies for friends, who are haunted with feelings of self-doubt and despair.

The truth will really set you free

Such an easy book to read but filled with some great truths. Josh McDowell knows exactly how to put things into perspective. The way we live our lives is based on our identity. This book will help you to see yourself as God sees you. This book can transform the way you look at yourself in a healthy balanced manner.

great book!

This is a wonderful book but is the exact same book, word for word as Building your SElf-image. It was just re-published with a different title.

One of the most encouraging books I have read.

The author is very easy to read and humourous. He has a unique ability to draw one into the situations and give advice at the same time. Not a preachy book, but one full of ways to encourage and uplift the reader. The audio version is even better!! The author voice is especially pleasing and this is a good travel book - lighthearted with a profound message of wisdom and warmth. It leaves the reader refreshed and encourages a positive outlook.
