Word Portraits

What could stoneware pottery, eagles, ants, salt, and the Magi possibly have in common? According to author Greg Hinnant, they each teach invaluable lessons about God’s top priority for Christians—maturing us and conforming us to the image of His Son. Word Portraits: Five Illustrations of the Mature Christian combines relevant research and insightful Bible teaching to “paint” five colorful, detailed portrayals of mature Christians. Specifically, these portrayals describe: redeemed, enduring vessels of honor; New Testament wise men and women; high-flying eagle Christians; Christians who follow the wise ways of ants; and indispensable, “salt of the earth” Christians. If you do not want God to change you, you do not want this book. But if you do, this inspiring book offers fascinating facts, thought-provoking Bible expositions, and probing questions that will stir you to rise and seek life’s highest good and, ultimately, the only goal worth pursuing—to be like Jesus!
