Discover your true identity as a beloved child of God in "Iconic," where Mike McGarry helps you understand your purpose in His grand story.
Mike McGarry helps readers discover that being created in the image of God means your identity, worth, and purpose aren’t dependent on a list of accomplishments—they are given by the One who made you.
At the core, what makes you “You”? Is it the way you look? Your family? Your accomplishments? The more you try to look within, the more confusing it can become. The good news is, your identity is a gift from God, not something you have to discover within yourself. For those who follow Christ, their identity is always secure in him.
God created us to be his image-bearers, as icons who remind the world of his majesty and nature. When we discover our purpose in his big story, it helps us make sense of our individual stories. In Iconic, you will see how being and bearing God’s image helps you discover your own identity as a loved child of God and shapes your relationship with him, others, and yourself.

The imago Dei is an important doctrine for the ages and especially for our times. With biblical clarity and pastoral sensitivity, Iconic explains what it means to be made in God’s image. It also addresses tensions, questions, and objections that accompany issues like sexuality and gender with wisdom and care. Moreover, every chapter is grounded in the gospel of grace. I wouldn’t hesitate to hand this book to any teenager or young adult. Buy two: one for yourself and one for a friend or fellow parent and read it together!
Iconic is a much-needed gift to Christian youth, young adults, and those who lead and love them. Mike McGarry not only helps readers understand and delight in the truth of their being made in God's image but also equips them to grow as thoughtful, faithful readers of Scripture. Along the way, he masterfully models how to connect the dots theologically, making this a deeply formative, engaging, and timely read.
In Iconic, Mike McGarry sets young people on the course of discovering who they truly are, giving them the sure foundation on which to see, understand, and navigate all of life to the glory of their identity-giving Maker! This book is a roadmap for human flourishing in a culture of mass identity confusion.
