In His Image

Finding Truth in a World of False Identities

Beschreibung

On New Year's Day 2019, Michael Cabezas sat in a bathroom cubicle weeping. These were not tears of sorrow, however, but rather tears of joy, tears of relief, tears of revelation as he was finally, once and for all, experiencing the overwhelming and abundant love of God. The youngest in a large Ecuadorian family in the city of Newark, New Jersey, Michael was a second-generation immigrant child of '80s and '90s America, a life filled with hip-hop, MTV, video gaming, and baseball. Sadly, what his life lacked was the attention and affirmation of his father, Victor. Broken by the attrition of chasing the American dream, Michael's father had become a ghost in the home. When Victor passed suddenly in 1998, Michael turned to other sources of affirmation to fill the void left behind. His life became filled with the endless pursuit of glamor and hedonistic dreams-women, wealth, reputation, drugs, alcohol, sharp clothes, and fast cars. None of them satisfied. All of them left him weary, disappointed, and emptier than ever before.  Then came a turning point. When Michael's life was miraculously spared in a near-fatal vehicle accident, he finally began seriously questioning where his life was headed. Slowly, steadily, another father, his heavenly Father, made Himself known, the only one who could fill that void to overflowing-with love and purpose and value. In His Image is the poignant story of one man's discovery that beyond all his desperate attempts to create a lasting image for himself lay the true image of the God who had created him. The Imago Dei. In a world of falsehood and illusion, this was the fascinating truth Michael needed to learn-and then live out. "Michael's story is one of hope over despair. Power in weakness. Triumph over tragedy." James Ray, Head of 4M UK

Autor

Michael A. Cabezas is an author, theology enthusiast, and counselor-in-training with a passion for helping people uncover their God-given identity. His book, In His Image: Finding Truth in a World of False Identities, he doesn't just explore theology-he shares his own journey of discovering Christ in a world full of counterfeit identities. His writing is both deeply personal and theologically rich, tracing the grand narrative of Scripture to reveal that true belonging isn't found in cultural labels, personal achievements, or fleeting affirmations, but in Christ alone. With a background in pastoral ministry, theological education, and the discipline of apologetics, Michael has a gift for making biblical truth feel both accessible and urgent. He knows firsthand the struggles of questioning identity, battling cultural expectations, and wrestling with faith in the face of doubt. That's why his writing doesn't just offer theory-it speaks to the heart. He bridges the gap between Scripture and real-life struggles, offering a voice that is both intellectually engaging and deeply compassionate. His message is clear: You don't have to search the world for love, purpose, or identity-you already have it in Christ. Michael's upcoming book, Swiping Through Worldviews: Navigating Your Faith in a Whirlwind of Lies and Deceit, dives even deeper into the battle for truth in an age of relentless ideological shifts. With the world flipping through narratives faster than ever, he uncovers how biblical truth is being stamped out-one worldview at a time. Through piercing insight and cultural analysis, he equips readers to stand firm in faith, cutting through the noise of deception with the unchanging Word of God.
