The God-Shaped Life: Restoring Our Views of God, Self, and Others.

This book is a practical resource for Christians, helping them discover important aspects for an overall healthier life: How one views God, one's self-image, and how one views others can have devastating effects on mental health, physical health, spiritual wellbeing, and social interaction. This book will help the Christian discover where distorted God concepts, poor self-image problems, and loss of God's kind of love for others originated. As well, through this book the Christian will come to a better understanding of how believing false ideas about God's attributes, holding poor self-images, and lack of love for others can affect their mental, physical, spiritual wellbeing, as well as social interaction. This book will offer a brief Biblical overview of how God reveals himself in the Bible as a God of love, what it means to be a new creation in Christ, and how to love others with God's altruistic kind of love. Finally, this book will give Christians practical procedures for restoring a Biblical view of God, a life transforming view of their self-image as a saint and learn how to love others altruistically.
