Man’s Restored Image
Author Offers Motivational Story Inspired by Basketball Legend Michael Jordan

LAUREL, MD. ---- In her riveting new book, Man’s Restored Image (now available through AuthorHouse, Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble.com), Gloria Minatti depicts mankind in all its attributes - spiritually, mentally and physically.

The book announces humankind’s beginning and heralds it end. It leads humanity on a path never before walked due to people’s fears of the unknown and brings out the true authentic potential within every man and woman. Its conception was inspired greatly by the author’s personal and spiritual encounter with basketball legend Michael Jordan, whose strength, vitality and focus are major themes in the book.

In 1998, God revealed his destiny to Minatti, and from that unforgettable meeting, she was inspired to write this spiritual, motivational story, which encompasses innumerable aspects of God’s plan for humanity.

Man’s Restored Image provides a map for life’s journey and incorporates meditation and proper breathing as guides. Coming full circle, it depicts man’s beginning and exemplifies his gestation of life. Minatti leads readers into a maze of information and knowledge that catapults them into an entirely new dimension of living. By revealing God by His ways and not just His acts, the author shows that one can be religious without ever fully knowing God.

Minatti also writes that it is not the body that makes a man human, it is his spirit. “As God’s self-knowledge lies in the eternal Spirit, so man’s self-knowledge is by his own spirit, and his knowledge of God is by direct union of the Spirit of God with the spirit of man. I cannot overstress the importance of this in our forward walk into our destiny as sons of God,” Minatti writes.

Minatti has ministered all over the United States and in March began her 2004 worldwide tour in the Philippines. She has taught classes on healing, prayer, praise and worship, Christian meditation and Spiritual studies. She is the founder of the Beyond the Veil newsletter, which is circulated monthly around the world, and also founder and president of Man’s Restored Image Ministries Inc.

The author resides in Laurel, Md., with her two sons. Recently widowed, she has reached hundreds with her ministry, declaring that God is a healer of all infirmities.
