"A friend once asked me to list the five best books I have ever read. Changed into His Image was, and still is, one of them. Jim Berg is an excellent communicator who writes an organized, thoughtful, resolute, and compassionate volume for any reader seeking genuine heart change for any type of issue. Truly, I recommend it without hesitation to anyone who believes in the sufficiency of the Scriptures for biblical heart change.--Mark E. Shaw, Founder, Truth in Love Ministries; Author, The Heart of Addiction 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 to 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 Changed into His Image has been a foundational study I have been using within my congregation and with my students at the Bible college for many years. It is theologically sound and practically effective in leading individuals into the understanding and process of developing in progressive sanctification.--Nicolas Ellen, Senior Pastor, Community of Faith Bible Church, Houston; Senior Professor of Biblical Counseling, College of Biblical Studies 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.--Kevin Carson, Pastor, Sonrise Baptist Church, Ozark, Missouri; Department Chair of Biblical Counseling, Baptist Bible College and Theological Seminary I am honored to endorse 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. It displays the hope of the Gospel to make us more and more like our Savior, and demonstrates 2 Corinthians 2:18: ""we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another"". God makes us like His Son! 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.--Kelli Dionne, Biblical Counselor, Faith Biblical Counseling Ministries, Spokane, Washington; Author, James and His Weird Mad I recall in the early days, when resources for biblical counseling were few, that a fellow pastor placed Dr. Jim Berg's book Changed into His Image in my hands along with a brief note. That was 1999. It is 2017 and eighteen years later, and I still have that original copy, along with the note from that pastor that said, ""This book will literally change your life."" And it did! It not only was used in those early days to help me define sound theology as it related to counseling, but it also took sound theology and showed me how we as God's people are to practically apply the Bible to our lives. And that kind of practical application was often missing in those days, even among sound biblical churches. For those who desire a resource that is theologically driven with resources on how to practically apply God's Word in real life situations, I strongly recommend this book to you. As I was told eighteen years ago, I can also say this to you today--this book is one of those books that will literally change your life!--Kevin E. Hurt, Founding Pastor, Grace Bible Church, Clayton, Georgia Our dad intentionally discipled us, his daughters, and thankfully he wrote down how he did it. What began as a series of ""Letters from Dad,"" were eventually developed into a timeless and profound treatise on biblical growth!. As mothers of his eleven grandchildren, we are now seeking to disciple our own kids. Although the book is dedicated to us three daughters, it has been widely used by many ministries as material for discipleship. I know he's our dad, but we truly believe that it is one of the best books on the topic of Christian growth available. Truly, Dad is a gifted, passionate, and compassionate communicator, illustrating truth in a way that is easily understandable to any Christian desiring to grow in Christlikeness. We are proud to say that Dad still faithfully lives according to the biblical truths contained in this book.--Kirsten Berg Daulton, Angela Berg McMorris, Michelle Berg Radford"
