Reflecting the Image began as a simple daily practice of opening Scripture, listening for God’s voice, and writing what I was learning. Over the years that simple discipline grew into more than two thousand reflections.

My prayer is that, as you read, you too will spend time with the only wise God and be transformed into the image of Christ.
