review 1: Bought it because it was recommended on Tim Keller's twitter. I would recommend this to any female who is struggling with identity (so most females). It's more theologically/philosophically dense than the average book written to a female audience.I loved this illustration, the author talks about how a new subscription to Harper's Bazaar: "Before Harper's Bazaar, fashion success meant being fully dressed before the children barged into my bedroom. After the magazine entered my world, I felt intimidated...but even as I realized I couldn't measure up... I felt compelled to try""My complicated relationship with Bazaar was based on this universal truth: We can't really know how short we come until we know the standard. So too, we can't know what we are created to be, we can't k... morenow what it means to live as image bearers, apart from clear, direct revelation from God."
review 2: Made for More explains how each of us is made in God's image, for purposes beyond what we can see. The more often we choose to live in God's image, the closer we come to trusting Him and letting go of our worries. My family is adjusting to some new situations right now, and we will experience more changes in the coming months. This Spring I've been feeling in limbo... not where I'm accustomed, and not yet where I'll soon be. So far it's been emotionally difficult. I vacillate between sitting lazily on the couch ("I give up") and feeling restless... like there must be something more to these months of my life. I'm not meant to just sit around and wait for the next chapter, right?! So I picked up Made for More. Reading it gave me an authoritative nudge to live each day in God's image. Helping others, doing mundane chores, loving my family, and working at my job outside the home all need to be done for God's glory and with my eyes on Him. Hannah Anderson explains that looking for ways we can glorify God in our CURRENT lives (yep, even my crazy limbo life) is the way to reflect God's image. And whenever we reflect God's image, we become more like Him. I know I need to get off the couch. God put me here for much more than being a bystander to all his glorious world. Since I've been nudged, I will take more opportunities to serve Him and trust him throughout my day. Everyday. less
