Dust, Breath, and Glory is a groundbreaking exploration of what it truly means to be human according to the Bible’s original Hebraic worldview. For centuries, many Christians have inherited a fragmented, Greek-influenced understanding of the human person—dividing body, soul, and spirit into disconnected parts, or treating salvation as escape from the physical world. This book offers a clear and compelling alternative rooted in Scripture from Genesis to Revelation. Drawing on deep Hebrew word studies—nephesh (soul), ruach (spirit), basar (body), lev (heart), tselem (image), and demut (likeness)—Stephen Adofo reveals a unified, holistic vision of humanity as God’s embodied image-bearers, shaped from dust and animated by divine breath to reflect God’s character and extend His Kingdom on earth. You will discover: •How God formed humans as integrated beings designed for glory •What nephesh and ruach truly mean in the Hebrew mind •How sin fractured the human person and distorted God’s image •Why death is the reversal of creation—and why resurrection is essential •How the New Covenant restores the heart, spirit, and identity of the believer •The role of the Holy Spirit in shaping a new humanity in Christ •How the Kingdom of God restores humanity’s purpose and authority •What resurrection life will be like in the new heavens and new earth This book moves beyond theory to reveal the story of humanity from creation to new creation, offering a clear and compelling narrative of who we were, who we are, and who we are becoming in the Kingdom of God. It will transform the way you understand yourself, your purpose, and your eternal destiny. Whether you are a pastor, Bible student, theologian, or believer hungry for deeper truth, Dust, Breath, and Glory will open your eyes to the beauty, dignity, and destiny of the human person. You were created from dust. You were filled with divine breath.
