Adoring Christ and becoming like Him is the most fundamental and crucial aspect of the human life. We long for love, beauty, power, security, and fame because these things describe God, who is majestic and beautiful. And He has designed humanity in His image to participate in His glorious likeness.
In Adoring Christ: Beholding God's Beauty and Becoming Like Him, author Kori de Leon discusses how adoring Christ sets our hearts free from self focus and pursuing glory in the wrong way so we can see the grandeur of God and participate in His glory the right way. Covering a wide range of topics like loveliness, dignity, and spiritual vitality this book specifically geared for women concludes each of its twelve chapters with a section designed to help readers actively engage with the truths presented in the book.
Glory is God's design for mankind. Together with the Bible, this book will encourage you to get lost in the wonder of God and His character as you enter into an adoration that will lead you to glorious transformation.
Kori came to speak at our Women's Conference about this book and now my bible study group is reading it and discussing the chapters each week. This book is so amazing! It has opened my eyes to a depth(s) of God I never knew existed and it is also challenging me in several areas of my life I never identified as being sinful. Chapter 6 gave me goosebumps and an an understanding of humanity and my own sin in ways I never even imagined. I KNOW I will be re-reading this book for years to come. One time through is not enough to absorb all of the wonderful truths and wisdom Kori has laid out.
Thank you Kori for writing such an honest, open and truth filled book about God. Praise Him that he is good and His love will endure forever!

I love this book! I love how it begins with creation, then takes us through the fall, and finally, it shows us how we are redeemed, restored, and recreated, glory to glory, in His image. I think there is a lot to get out of this book. I have never thought of myself as an image bearer, even though I have heard that we are all created in His image. It has put my walk with Him in a whole new perspective and it has also transformed how I look at the world and the people in it.
