What’s the most important thing in the universe to you? What, more than anything else, permeates your thought life, pulls your heart strings, and propels your actions? Don’t fool yourself. That supreme something—whatever it may be for you—is shaping the person you are becoming, for better or for worse, turning you into someone radiant and full of life, or making you a dim and weightless ghost of yourself. But what if we worshiped Jesus? Not the imaginary Jesus invented by televangelism, consumerism, fundamentalism, mysticism, or some political ism, but the actual Jesus we meet in the New Testament? How can he, unlike any other object of worship, enlarge our intellects, our emotions, our actions, our relationships, our imaginations, our whole selves? Drawing from science, literature, art, theology, history, music, philosophy, pop culture, and more, Thaddeus J. Williams paints a fresh and inspiring vision of how we become most truly ourselves by mirroring the Greatest Person in History.
Reflecting the Son: How to Mirror Jesus – Audiobook
In this urgent and inspiring follow-up to Revering God, Thaddeus Williams presents Reflecting the Son: How to Mirror Jesus, a bold call to move beyond shallow notions of “Christlikeness” that confuse it with mere niceness or vague spirituality. With clarity and conviction, Williams draws from philosophy, science, art, psychology, literature, and–above all–Scripture to reveal how worshiping Jesus transforms every aspect of life: our thinking, our emotions, our relationships, our creativity, and our purpose. Organized around the acronym R-E-F-L-E-C-T, this book offers seven dimensions of mirroring Jesus. With theological depth, cultural insight, and a winsome blend of humor and devotion, Reflecting the Son equips readers to live Christ-shaped lives in tangible, transformative ways. Each chapter closes with powerful testimonies from leading theologians and robust study guides–making this book ideal for personal growth, church discipleship, and small group study.
