Hello Gems! Today's post is a video review on the ESV Archaeology Study Bible . I received this Bible for free in exchange for an honest review through the Crossway Blog Review Program . I want to thank the people over at Crossway for this opportunity.

In His Image by Jen Wilking {Book Review}

Title : In His Image Author : Jen Wilkin Age : Adult Genres : Christian Living, Non-Fiction Expected Publication Date : May 31, 2018 Publisher : Crossway Source : Review copy received as an eBook. Purchase : Amazon | Kindle | B&N | ChristianBook | LifeWay Synopsis :   Sometimes we ask What is God’s will for my life? when we should really be asking Who should I be? The Bible has an answer: Be like the very image of God.  By exploring ten characteristics of who God is—holy, loving, just, good, merciful, gracious, faithful, patient, truthful, and wise—this book helps us understand who God intends for us to be. Through Christ, the perfect reflection of the image of God, we will discover how God’s own attributes impact how we live, leading to freedom and purpose as we follow his will and are conformed to his image. My Rating :   Jen Wilkin is an author I'm starting to love. I love her writing style, her thoughts and how much sc
