Surrender to the One who can change you life . . .

What a gentle and humble book! Not to be confused with icons, Biblical images are simple, everyday items that can - if we are striving to find God's glory in all His creation - lead us to a deeper understanding of His power, majesty, and glory! Douglas Webster kindly reminds us that we are without excuse. God has illustrated His will and truth with the mundane - Biblical images like the Unadorned Alter; the Lamb of God; the Thorn in the Flesh; the Towel and Basin; the Empty Tomb; and others. Unlike other books that promote Christian "success," Webster gently points us - through these timeless images - to what a Christian's true calling is . . . "take up your cross and follow Me."
