Review Quotes

Praise for Changed Into His Image

Few books made such an early impact on our church as did Jim Berg's Changed into His Image. We have profited from its use in small groups, in

one-on-one discipleship, and in our counseling ministry. Jim's organization, style, illustrations, and thoroughness combine to make this book a classic for personal sanctification. I anticipate God using this new edition in your life as well.

Our dad intentionally discipled us, and we're thankful that he wrote down how he did it. What began as a series of "Letters from Dad" was eventually developed into a timeless and profound treatise on biblical growth! Dad is a gifted, passionate, and compassionate communicator, illustrating truth in a way that is easily understandable to any Christian who desires to grow in Christlikeness. We are proud to say that Dad still faithfully lives according to the biblical truths contained in this book.

Dr. Jim Berg is one of the best communicators of God's truths in the church today. Changed into His Image is an indispensable discipleship resource that teaches Christians how to understand and kill sin, renew their minds, and behold Jesus. As they learn this, it will allow them to image Christ and magnify his name. Jim has been an invaluable teacher in my life, and this book is one that I love and use with those I counsel and mentor, as well as myself. It is a treasure to God's children.

For many years, I have been using Changed into His Image as a foundational study within my congregation and with my students at the Bible college. It is theologically sound and practically effective in leading individuals into the understanding and process of developing in progressive sanctification.

Changed into His Image feels like a modern book of Proverbs. As a reader, you feel like a kind, wise, life-tested father is sitting down with you to share what he's learned about the heart of the Christian life and living it out earnestly. Filled with memorable analogies and thoughtful applications, this book points you constantly toward maturity in Christ.

-Alasdair Groves, Executive Director, Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation

A friend once asked me to list the five best books I had ever read. Changed into His Image was, and still is, one of them. Jim Berg is an excellent communicator who has written an organized, thoughtful, resolute, and compassionate volume for any reader who seeks genuine heart change for any type of issue. I recommend it without hesitation to anyone who believes in the sufficiency of the Scriptures to bring about biblical heart change.
