Your physical being is knit according to a pattern of incredible purpose. In Fearfully and Wonderfully Made, renowned surgeon Dr. Paul Brand and best-selling writer Philip Yancey explore the human body.

Information on In the Likeness of God from the publisher:
What does it mean, in practical terms, for us to be the body of Christ? Award-winning writer Philip Yancey gained dramatic insights through his friendship with Dr. Paul Brand. The renowned surgeon not only possessed a profound grasp of the spiritual metaphors contained in the human body -- the truths knit into its tissues and coursing through its capillaries -- but he lived them. Published in tribute to Dr. Brand, In the Likeness of God probes the realities he understood so intimately and modeled so well. This inspiring volume includes eight litanies by Paul Brand in praise of the body, eight pages of black-and-white photos, and a new preface by Philip Yancey. Most importantly, it brings together the complete, updated texts of Brand and Yancey's two Gold Medallion bestsellers. Fearfully and Wonderfully Made takes you on a remarkable journey through inner space -- a spellbinding world of cells, systems, and chemistry that bears the impress of a still deeper, unseen reality. In His Image explores five topics -- Image, Blood, Head, Spirit, and Pain -- to unlock the astonishing, living lessons encoded in our physical makeup. Each book is a unique message, complete in itself. Yet each is also an extension of the other. Together, these two uplifting books will open your eyes to the miracle of the human body, and how accurately and intricately it portrays the body of Christ.
