Respect the Image: Reflecting Human Worth in How We Listen and Talk

“There are Christian resources on communication in human relationships that tell the reader lots of stories but fail to connect these practical anecdotes, challenges, and instructions to biblical truths that transform the heart. On the other hand, there are resources that tell the reader eternal truths about conducting relationships as God intended but that leave the reader with little in the way of procedural knowledge—with no practical answers to “How do I do that?” Respect the Image helps us all precisely because Tim aims to make every truth transformative and every story connect to the truth.”

“Get this book, read it, and live it out—you won’t be disappointed.”

“Tim Shorey reminds us of the importance of being engaged listeners who seek authenticity and love genuinely as a pathway to peace with our neighbors. With biblical insight and personal transparency, Tim provides effective, practical steps to pursuing peace with those with whom we might disagree. Requiring truth-telling and vulnerability, while recognizing the full humanity of others, and embracing both our uniqueness as well as our unity in Jesus Christ as an image of the gospel, Respect the Image is a focused and helpful plea for greater listening and learning in all our relationships.”
