Be a Mirror of God's Love

Review by Leticia Berry

A favorite place for many people to do their gift shopping is the cosmetic and fragrance counters in department stores across the country. Nearly all of us appreciate gifts that help us reflect our best or bolster our confidence to those around us. In her new book of meditations, Reflecting His Image, Liz Curtis Higgs reminds us that the image we want to reflect is His. We are much more than what we see in the mirror because our real worth comes from our identity in Christ. Meant to be a "confidence booster for your spiritual self," each meditation is based on a Scripture verse, is brief and engaging, and concludes with a prayer.

Higgs's warm personal style sets these meditations (two for each letter of the alphabet) apart as she describes specific situations and memories that always lead her-and her readers-to the recognition of the Savior's love. Her writing, sometimes poignant, sometimes funny, always memorable, gives confidence with its twin themes of who Christ is in you and who you are in Christ.

The author of several books for both adults and children, Higgs has a special heart for today's stressed-out, overworked women who have forgotten how to laugh.

Throughout she gives readers a gentle reminder that in Christ we are more than a new hair style, a new wardrobe, or a new fragrance. We are His. What better gift could there be to give a friendÑor yourself-than the assurance of Reflecting His Image?
