Butterfly Believers - Paperback

by Paul E. Linzey (Author), Eddie Espinosa (Foreword by)

There is never a day when a butterfly in any stage is the same as it was the day before. This is also true of people. The author uses metamorphosis as an analogy, breaking down the steps to personal growth, making it easier to understand, and the process interesting and fun. Inspired by a study of Rom 12:1-2, Butterfly Believers consists of forty devotional readings, each one based on one aspect of the butterfly life cycle. In the same way a butterfly changes every single day, Butterfly Believers are also transforming continuously, moving towards spiritual depth and maturity. In each short chapter, the author presents a specific fact about the egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, or imago, adding one or two appropriate Scripture verses. The result is an inspiring devotional about moving step by step towards maturity and blossoming into the beautiful Imago Dei. Suitable for personal devotions, group discussion, or as a resource for preaching.
