In His Image

What if everything you've been taught about righteousness is wrong?
For decades, believers have been told that righteousness means moral perfection—an impossible standard that leaves them drowning in guilt, hiding their struggles, and wondering why their faith never seems to translate into real-world living. But the Hebrew Scriptures tell a radically different story.
Righteousness: Created in His Image reveals what the Bible actually teaches: righteousness (tzedek) isn't sinless perfection but ongoing alignment with YHVH's character—a dynamic integration of both our divine calling and human limitations.
Through detailed examination of all Ten Commandments and their supporting 613 mitzvot, this book uncovers a profound pattern hidden in plain sight: each commandment requires both positive actions (what we should embrace) and negative restraints (what we must resist). Like day and night, male and female, work and rest—completeness requires integration of seeming opposites, not elimination of one side.
This explains why every biblical hero—Abraham, Moses, David, Paul—repeatedly failed yet remained righteous. It wasn't despite their struggles but through their honest engagement with both their light and darkness that they walked with YHVH. They didn't deny their failures; they rose again after falling, exactly as Proverbs 24:16 describes the righteous person.
Most remarkably, Yeshua demonstrated this integration perfectly under extreme pressure—facing real temptation, genuine struggle, and impossible demands while maintaining perfect alignment with each commandment's dual nature. His example proves this pattern isn't theoretical theology but practical wisdom for navigating real-world chaos.
This book provides:

• A comprehensive framework covering every dimension of human existence—internal life, spiritual practice, family relationships, community justice, economic activity, and physical wellbeing
• Biblical examples showing how God's people actually walked out righteousness through failure and restoration
• Practical application for modern challenges: technology, workplace ethics, financial pressure, family fractures, cultural confusion, and media manipulation
• Liberation from religious perfectionism into biblical honesty about the human condition
• An anchor point for standing firm when everything around you feels like it's falling apart

If you've ever felt the disconnect between what believers claim and how they actually live... if you're exhausted by pretending to be perfect while struggling in private... if you're seeking practical guidance for walking with YHVH rather than more theological theory... this book offers what you've been searching for: a way to live as you were designed—in the image of the One who integrated perfect justice with perfect mercy, who holds all things together, and who calls you to reflect His character through honest, integrated righteousness.
The world is coming apart. But you don't have to come apart with it.
