It has often been said, "A picture is worth a thousand words." However, the opposite can also be true-words can paint pictures of complex and significant concepts, using symbols we can see and identify with to represent things we cannot see but that are very real.
From the intimacy of the bride to the power of the kingdom and the nurturing bonds of family, we discover our identity, purpose, and interconnectedness through symbols brought to life in the pages of Scripture. Portraits of God's People invites us on a journey to explore the imagination of God and the beauty of how He expresses who His people are called to be. Through detailed observations by faithful women of God, the study of these timeless images urges us deeper into our relationship with God and our relationships with one another.
Reflect on the powerful metaphors that shape our faith and identity as the church with supplemental materials suitable for a variety of settings. Whether you are a long-time believer or a new Christian, this book offers a more profound understanding of the divine imagery that unites us and calls us to live out our distinctiveness as God's people.
