In His Image
Throughout Scripture, God displays Himself in physical ways. His eyes search for those whose heart is fully His. His voice thunders when He is angry at us. His hand gives to us in times of need, and protects when we're in danger. In this unique look at the physical attributes of God, discover how He offers you His caring arm during unsteady times when you feel you're at your worst, how He inclines His ear toward you when you need Him to hear your heart, and how His smile radiates when you make choices that reflect His image.

I am not sure why the other two reviews are so very low because this book is actually quite encouraging and weightier than much of the Christian books that make the rounds. I have heard Dr. Ulmer minister in person on several occasions and participated in seminars where he was the teaching professor. Reading this book was similar to hearing a sermon from him—although, the reader cannot fully grasp the depth and passion from which he speaks with except in person. I suspect this book was taken from a sermon series on the topic because of the style: personal and folksy, as he can preach that way and in other settings, he can deliver quite formally, depending on the setting, as a highly educated and learned person. In the book, just as in person, Ulmer exegetes the Word of God and then delivers with clarity.
Whether this was a “Ghost writer” transcribing his sermons—or from his hand completely, it was Ulmer.
The message is solid—God sees us not as we see ourselves and He wants us to have a heart for what his heart desires. That is the basic theme yet the book goes much more in depth.
I did not do the book justice in reading it having drawn out the time reading in snippets when waiting for 5 or 10 minutes somewhere. I will probably pick it up again and actually considering a Bible study based on this.
This is a good read for any Christian but would be especially helpful for one that is backsliding, depressed, discouraged, and generally struggling.
