Formed in His Image is the debut title by author, teacher, and speaker Coleman M. Ford. This book helps Christians understand what it means to grow and be conformed to Christ’s image. Formed in His Image teaches readers not only what spiritual formation is but also what it consists of. Each chapter focuses on different areas that are necessary components in the life of a flourishing Christ follower.
Formed in His Image is wonderful and has much to offer and the chapters on humility and friendship were very impactful for me. I also enjoyed the chapter Formation of the Body for its emphasis on spending time with God by reading Scripture and praying.
Coleman writes in a way that is serious yet easy to comprehend and there’s even a bit of humor throughout the book which I appreciated. The book’s tone is gentle and encouraging. As Coleman teaches readers about the elements necessary for healthy spiritual formation, he reminds them that they pursue these things out of love for the Lord, not as a means of attempting to earn His favor. If you’re a Christian wanting to learn what it looks like to be a flourishing follower of Christ, I highly recommend reading Formed in His Image.
