Long ago, the psalmist posed the question: "What is man that you are mindful of him?" Many would answer that human beings are mere molecules of matter formed by chance and governed by meaninglessness. But this is not so! "Man is majestic, is the Biblical view. As male and female, man reflects the wonder of the Creator, whose image man bears. And in Jesus Christ, the epitome of true humanity, God's majesty was reflected on earth." This book rejoices in humanity's God-given mystery, majesty and mandate. It deals with issues as lofty as the meaning of life and as down-to-earth as getting along with a spouse. It gives back our dignity, reminding us that we were created in the image of our majestic God.
