<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>An engaging exposition on evil and Christian purpose as God's image bearers.</p><p><br></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>God is good, God is all-powerful, and yet evil exists-why?</strong></p><p>While most believers in Jesus Christ know these truths to be self-evident, many struggle to arrive at the "So what?" of this trilemma. An engaging and thought-provoking exposition on the problem of evil, <em>Image of Love</em> adds context to the Christian narrative by systematically defining human purpose through the lens of a single theological concept-the image of God. </p><p>Fear not! God-given purpose lies behind the brokenness of this war-torn world and such purpose is found by understanding God's image. <em>Image of Love</em> bridges the gap between the apologetics of the trilemma and how believers in Christ are to live with conviction of their identity as God's image bearers. In this book, Captain Jeffrey Sauers Jr. explores the inexhaustible implications of humanity being made in God's image through Scripture, biblical doctrine, and engaging personal anecdotes from his career as a United States Marine Corps attack helicopter pilot.</p><p>From defining the human soul in likeness to the Trinity to presenting a reason for the fall of humanity, this book biblically approaches the godly wisdom of Genesis 1:26-27, when God first created humanity in the garden of Eden. Fleshing out some difficult topics of apologetics, <em>Image of Love </em>comprehensively arrives at the conclusion that the ultimate meaning of life as an image bearer is the pursuit of God's glory. This book is a must-read for any Christian who seeks a fuller spiritual walk with their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>1 Chronicles 12:32 identifies the Tribe of Issachar within King David's army as "men who <em>understood</em> the times and <em>knew</em> what Israel <em>ought</em> to do." <em>Image of Love</em> was written by a man and warrior who <em>understands</em> our times and <em>knows</em> what Christians <em>ought </em>to do. Jeff's insights into the Word of God and his clear and concise presentation are like reading the Bible and having the author of it (the Holy Spirit) on speed-dial. Jeff's treatise, as presented in <em>Image of Love</em>, brings a fresh spring breeze of clarity to the reality of God's intent behind Genesis 1:26 when man was created in God's image.</p><p><em>-John E. Voss, Navigators Staff TAC Representative of 32 years</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>"Image of Love</em> was one of those-right book and the right time-situations. Written and published in a year that was, for many, filled with tumult and uncertainty, I found <em>Image of Love</em> especially relevant and timely. I count it as a gift from our Father in heaven from whom all blessings flow. You will realize quickly that Jeff is the living example of a man walking in the fullness of his first love. <em>Image of Love</em> is rich in Scripture and a worthy endeavor for individual and group studies or retreats. As a former enlisted man, my initial thought was that Captain Sauers, an active duty commissioned officer, might remain behind the polish, shine, and mystique of the United States Marine Corps. Instead, Jeff became real and vulnerable. He challenged some of my long-held beliefs, with new perspectives and vivid illustrations. If you're like me, you will especially enjoy Jeff's experiences from the United States Naval Academy, flight school, and his increasing responsibilities as an attack helicopter pilot. I plan to keep one book for myself and a few copies to share. In a world polarized by ethnocentrism, it is humbling and reassuring to know that the God of the universe has imprinted on every human-the <em>Image of Love</em>."</p><p><em>-John A. Romero, LAPD Captain (Ret.) and Elder, Centerpoint Church Simi Valley, Ca.</em></p><p><br></p><p>In a world where foggy, subjective thinking has become the norm, Jeff Sauers' book is a clear and bold clarion of truth. Even the most well-versed theologian will find that Jeff's writing provides thought-provoking insights. While entirely biblical, his fresh look at classical theology is intellectually stimulating and personally challenging. As a theologian, he has balanced well the issues of heart and mind and of application and scholarship. The text begins by establishing the sure foundation of Scripture, and grows in interest and application with each subsequent chapter. I can't wait for the second volume of what will surely be a series on theology, dedicated to the glory of the only One worthy of worship. I highly endorse this book for personal and group study.</p><p><em>-Dr. Steven Pope, Pastor, Centerpoint Church Simi Valley, Ca.</em></p><br>
