Have You Asked God, "Who Am I?"

Wouldn't it be nice to actually see what God had in mind when He created you?

You wonder, "Why do I keep doing this?"

Created In God's ImageYou think, "I know better than to do this, but I'm going to do it anyway."

You ask, "Why do I keep doing the same things over and over again?"

You marvel, "I can't believe that I have done it again!"

You question, "What do you want me to do? Why am I here?"

You observe, "I have turned my life over to you, but it seems like I keep taking it back."

God provides his answers through a variety of means.  In the past, He has used burning bushes, stone tablets, and even talking donkeys.

God speaks through His Word. And he speaks through the words of others.  The course Created In God's Image  was inspired by God and written by two Christian PhD's. It's purpose is to provide you with a detailed picture of who God created you to be. 

The course includes a 230 page textbook.  Many find this course to "life changing."  Also, there are two examinations provided (the authors are educators, and know that the best understanding comes when the student knows she will be tested.)  Successful completion will entitle you a handsome, suitable for framing certificate of completion.

But the best part is yet to come...

Included with the course is a Personal Temperament Profile.  Until you complete the course, it will be difficult to appreciate the value of this profile.  But, most people will find the answers to the questions asked at the beginning of this page.  Having accurate answers to those questions is worth nearly any price!

The fundamental counseling model used by the NCCA, and many Christian Counselors and  Psychologists is based on understanding temperament.

Temperament is the set of inborn behavioral characteristics that are a part of us from the moment of conception. They are given by God, and remain with us for life. It is like a blueprint of the design God had in mind when he created you.

Personality, on the other hand, is the result of the temperament and life experience.  People develop personality in response to the life experience. It may or may not reflect the temperament.  Typically the temperament will influence the personality, but it is not unusual to see people exhibiting personalities quite different from their inborn temperament.

Not A Simplistic Study

Many seek to provide simple answers to complex issues.  The temperament is not simple. Any analysis that provides a simple view is going to be of little value.  In Created In God's Image, you will learn of an analytical system that combines the five basic temperaments (Melancholy, Choleric, Phlegmatic, Sanguine, Supine) with the three major aspects of human relationships. 

The fact is that in different situations, people have different temperaments.  So while a person may be very outgoing in superficial relationships, when it comes to close, personal relationships his needs and characteristics are quite different. 

Additionally, many people exhibit blended temperaments.  So a Sanguine who is not quite so exuberant may be determined to be a Sanguine-Phlegmatic.  The authors have identified seventeen different temperaments.  

Seventeen different temperament blends, three different aspects, four thousand nine hundred and thirteen possible combinations.  While the truth of individual is actually infinitely variable, having nearly five thousand categories enables you to really get a much more accurate understanding of who God designed you to be..

What is the difference between
Created In God's Image and Creation Therapy?

The primary difference between these two courses is the target audience.  Created In God's Image was written for people who want to understand the temperaments, and gain a greater comprehension of who God created them to be.  It makes a wonderful focus for a group of Christians interested in understanding themselves and God at a new level. 

The course Creation Therapy includes all the information that is in Created In God's Image, but it adds a significant amount of information about how to use the information provided by the temperament to counsel others.

If you think you are called to Christian Counseling, but are unsure of where to go, what courses to take, or whether you will be well suited to being a counselor, this course is for you!  Your temperament will say much about how likely you are to become an effective counselor. You may discover other avenues of service that are a better fir for you, or you may find that in fact, Christian Counseling is just what God had in mind. 

Anyone who takes this course and later enrolls in Creation Therapy will have the purchase price of Created In God's Image credited toward the purchase of Creation Therapy.
