Foreword to The Image of God: The Glory of Man

When I began my travel career, my passion was seeing and photographing the differences between the world’s cultures. But time and experience has shown me they are more alike than not. People everywhere laugh when they are happy, cry when they are hurt, and ask the same “big” questions about life. Who am I? Where did I come from? What is my purpose? Does God exist? Is there life after death? How then should I live? The all-encompassing question of the ages, however, was asked by David in Psalm 8: “What is man?”

How we answer this question determines the way we live, because our views of people, nature, and God are all founded on our perception of man. It defines our understanding and expression of love in our families and communities. It governs our rule over the natural world. It identifies and establishes the deity or thing that we worship and serve.

This book considers man as he is portrayed in the Bible. Made in the glorious image of God, man rejected the design of his Creator, and thus became a broken image. But God, in His compassion, provided healing and restoration for man, so that he might once again live in His glorious image on the earth.

What an exalted view of man! Here is the foundation for the abundant life that God intends for all mankind—a life characterized by love that gives, rule that serves, and worship that trusts and obeys God. Restored to the image of God in which he was created, man is truly glorious. This book celebrates that glory.
