Our Bibles consistently use the noun ‘Transfiguration’ with regard to Jesus but ‘Transformation’ with regard to the Christian – and yet it is one and the same verb, transliterated ‘metamorphosed,’ that is used in those places in the original text. Why is that so? Is there an important difference between them? And why does the noun ‘metamorphosis’ which is familiar to us never occur in the New Testament? And yet is there some connection between the Transfiguration of Jesus and the Transformation of the Christian?

Hywel R. Jones presents answers to these questions in this book. In the course of doing so he shows how the divine can penetrate the human without destroying it as in the Person of Christ, and how the human can become conformed to the divine without its ceasing to be human as in the case of the Christian. That kind of metamorphosis accords and exalts the Christian gospel over against the humanism of our culture, whether secularised or spiritualised.

There is a distinction between God and Man which will never be obliterated but preserved for ever – even in the glorified Christ in whom they are joined. But communion between the God-Man and his believing people will result in each Christian being fully conformed to the perfect humanity of Christ while retaining his or her own individuality. It will not result in a faceless absorption into the divine but face to face communion with the triune God for ever.

‘The transfiguration of Christ shows how the divine can penetrate the human without destroying it. The transformation of the believer shows how the human can become conformed to the divine without its ceasing to be human. This is the ultimate metamorphosis that is compatible with Christian truth.’ — HYWEL R. JONES

Linking the Transfiguration of Christ to our transformation as believers in Christ is intriguing to say the least. I’ll confess that I never thought of the connection before I came across this book. The connection isn’t fabricated as both spring from the same word in the New Testament...This book addresses more scholarly concerns than I am used to seeing in a BOT volume, but it is an interesting study. I always appreciate someone who can open the Bible and show me something I have never put together before. That is what happens here. Jimmy R. Reagan

The ultimate festival glow in a bottle!
**5.0 out of 5 stars - The ultimate festival glow in a bottle!** If you want to be seen from space (in the best way possible), this holographic silver spray is exactly what you need. I bought this for a rave, and it exceeded all my expectations. Unlike other glitters that just look like silver specks, this has a true holographic finish that catches the light and shifts colors beautifully every time you move. The "quick-drying" claim is no joke. I was worried about it feeling sticky or transferring onto my clothes, but it set in about 60 seconds and stayed put. I sprayed it on my hair, my collarbones, and even over my makeup, and it lasted through hours of dancing without fading or raining down "glitter snow" all over the floor. I also love how fine the mist is. It’s a very even, shimmering distribution rather than big, chunky blobs of glitter, which makes it look much more high-end. It washes out of hair and off the skin surprisingly easily with just standard soap and water, too. If you’re looking for that perfect, effortless sparkle for a concert or party, this is the one to get. Just a fair warning: once you start spraying, you'll probably want to cover everything in it!

Delicate pretty glitter, but pungent
This leaves a beautiful tiny glitter. Beware this glitter will get everywhere and it’s highly perfumed. If you’re smell sensitive or want to avoid getting too much mess, I highly recommend using the spray outside.

Not worth the money
Warning. Don't buy this!!! After shaking the glitter spray, then spraying it on my arm, the stuff comes out in one large clump of small sparkles. You can't even distribute it evenly with your hand. Also, you cannot return the item for a refund unless there was a problem with delivery.
