Naked

by Will Hathaway

The human being is the only creature  on Earth made in the image of God, yet the human is also the only creature on Earth to find shame in natural aspects of its own existence.  Follow along as a young man learns a deeper meaning of Life, Love, and Spiritual Purpose, through his friendship with an elderly mentor caring for his sick wife.  
How did we go from being made in God's image "naked and not ashamed" to finding shame in that same image? 

Was that fateful decision in the Garden of Eden a simple act of disobedience? Or was it more than that? And would understanding what really happened unlock the doors leading to a greater understanding of our lives today, our purpose, of the significance of Christ and salvation?

About the author

I was raised on a working cattle ranch in Southern Arizona, and spent my childhood milking cows, breaking horses, and mending fences. It wasn’t until I left to go to college that I really learned to appreciate how unique of an upbringing I had.

I attended Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona which was quite the transition for me. I liked the city as it was different, but there is a part of me that will always be most at home out in the middle of nowhere either with a backpack or on horseback. I met my wife in college and we were married in 1998, and we have 3 kids.

My initial desire was to become a pastor after college, which I partially fulfilled by becoming a part time associate, but my full time employment was that of a police officer. This would be one of the greatest sculpting elements in my life, as it was the realities I experienced as an officer that caused me to re-evaluate the faith I took for granted throughout my life. Was God really the type of God I thought he was? Or, had I just been accepting what I had been told about him throughout my life? I’d answer that question now......but I’m still on the journey.

Completely reversed all the things we are taught in our earlier years in church. Will flipped the message presented in the bible about what it means we are to be the image of God. Its one spirirual book I could not put down.
