A Study Guide produced by Rev. Ron Lively, M.Div., M.A.\u00a0 In His Image \u2013 by Dr. Paul Brand & Philip Yancey. Zondervan Publishing House, Grand Rapids, MI. (1984). In their former book, Fearfully & Wonderfully Made, Philip Yancey and Dr. Paul Brand revealed how God\u2019s voice is encoded in the very structure of our bodies. In His Image takes up where its predecessor left off, beckoning us once again inward and onward to fresh exploration and discovery. Yancey and Brand show how accurately and intricately the human body portrays the Body of Christ. In five sections\u2015Image, Blood, Head, Spirit, and Pain\u2015the acclaimed surgeon and the award-winning writer unlock the remarkable, living lessons contained in our physical makeup. This Gold Medallion Award-winning book will open your eyes to the complex miracle of the human body, and the even more compelling spiritual truths that it reflects.\u00a0 Most of the content in these study guides represent a summary of the words of the authors.\u00a0 Occasionally, I offer my own commentary.\u00a0 More study sessions will be added as soon as they are completed.\u00a0 Ron<\/span><\/p>\n<\/header>\n
