Transformados En Su Imagen El Plan De Dios Para Transformar Tu Vida Spanish Edition Paperback 2003 Author Jim Berg File

But the words from Transformados En Su Imagen whispered in his mind: “La transformación comienza donde termina tu fuerza.” (Transformation begins where your strength ends.)

He thought of the final chapter of Berg’s book: “La gloria de Dios no es que usted sea feliz, sino que usted sea santo.
