“After going through John Murray’s book, In Whose Image? with my 8th graders, I highly recommend this study. I found the topics to be interesting and relevant to their challenges today as young believers navigating through a very adult world. There are so many mixed messages about identity and image in our culture today. It can be very overwhelming for 13-year-olds to find purpose and clarity, to find truth that they can rely on in the midst of the uncertainty. I really appreciated John’s emphasis on what it means to be an image-bearer of God. Quite a few conversations were sparked in my class from this reference point.
As an African American, I also appreciated the featuring of people of color, not just the pictures, but the inclusion into the kingdom narrative and our place in history. A lot of Christian worldview curriculum tend to shy away or minimize the contributions and struggles of African Americans. I applaud Mr. Murray for the courage to be intentional about including people of color who are also created in the image of God. I highly recommend this book!”

It is engaging and has thought-provoking, stimulating content. Above all else, it is RELEVANT to today’s teens, which is always one of the biggest parts of keeping students engaged in Bible classes. It has modern, usable, relatable information and questions. I love it and wholeheartedly endorse In Whose Image?”
