Just as there are physical signs that determine the overall health and wellness of a patient, so too there are signs of life determining the extent to which a man or woman has been transformed into the image of Jesus. It's a smile, a simple lifestyle, compassion in the face of misfortune, willingness to commit random acts of kindness, benevolence, social justice, tears, words. Author Jeremiah leads readers through a forty-day journey to a fuller understanding of what these signs are and how to be a person marked by them. This journey pursues a life characterized by relevancy, surrender, authenticity, generosity, and compassion--and in so doing, transforms individuals, communities, and nations. Whether new to the Christian faith or an old-timer, readers will discover what being transformed personally into the image of Jesus means and be equipped with a greater vision for the life they are freed to live.-~ From publisher description.
