Imago Dei: Created to Create

From my heart to yours… this book has been a labor of love, prayer, and passion. Imago Dei: Created to Create was born out of a deep desire to help you see yourself as God sees you—made in His image, with the beautiful ability to co-create with Him through your gifts, your work, your art, your life.

This is more than just a book—it’s a guided journey into what it means to be made in the image of the Creator, and how that truth shapes everything from our creativity to our identity.

From Mary Claire:

I wrote this for the woman who loves Jesus but sometimes forgets that she's allowed to play, explore, and make messes. I wrote it for the one who’s scared to call herself “creative” but can’t help but feel the tug to make something meaningful. And I wrote it for the seasoned artist, the tired mom, the seeker, the journaler, the doer… because I think we all need this reminder: You were created to create.

If you have questions, please feel free to message me—I'd love to hear from you. I hope this book blesses you as much as creating it has blessed me.
