About this ebook
In Restoring the Image, author Ashley K. Tapley takes you on a journey of truth and deliverance as she exposes the hidden vices of Satan used to pervert and destroy the image of God in the Earth. In an image driven society, we are not given an accurate depiction of what righteous patterning truly looks like. Through her own transparency, she will discuss the hidden dysfunctions of the human soul that prevents us from coming into the knowledge of Jesus Christ about who we truly are in Him. Her personal testimony about how she struggled with the secret sickness of Anorexia Nervosa and Binge Eating will expose some of the hidden vices that causes humanity in the church and in society to self-destruct before entering a true love relationship with the Father. She attacks shame as the enemy of the Cross that hinders our ability to be completely exposed before the Father. The keys that will be administered to you in this book will destroy false-images, delusions, idolatry, low self-esteem, rejection, and abandonment. "RESTORING THE IMAGE OF A PERSON HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH RESTORING THEIR IDENTITY.” Father-God wants to restore you back to His original design!

PREFACE
Restoring the Image was birthed out of the dark seasons of my life that shaped and molded my identity into Kingdom purpose. For an extended period, I suffered in my emotional health with issues of poor self-image, low self-esteem, self-hatred, and extreme fear. Before encountering the healing power of Jesus, anguish and the anxiety of existing without purpose and fulfillment led me down dark and unrighteous paths of self-vindication to affirm the broken pieces of my soul. I find that many individuals in the world and in the body of Christ lead lives that are inauthentic in God because they have been given a distorted view of Christ and a distorted understanding of humanities function in Him. Lies and deception have induced a reality that hinders our ability to progress as individuals. From the pulpit to the pews and to the entire world, we wear masks to hide and block the pain which in turn keeps us living lives ashamed to be embraced and loved by people that live on the outside of our caves. Rejection and abandonment are the two major enemies of the human soul that cause arrested development in our mentalities, also hindering our ability to have healthy relationships and become productive members in church and in society. Through much transparency about my own personal struggles with self-actualized identity and self-image, my goal is to expose the internal vices of man that manifests self-destruction and self-sabotage, preventing them from finding their true-selves in God. My intent is to also reveal God’s heart about how He truly feels about us and His original blueprint for the entire composition of man. Do you have an issue with how you see yourself, body image, identity, or other people? As you are led to the cross at Calvary, my prayer is that every vice and false image of your soul will be shattered at the name of Jesus. Here you will receive a supernatural exchange of His DNA, healing the areas of deep woundedness, death, and decay that have left you hopeless over the years and without sight. TODAY
ACKNOWLEGEMENTS
I would like to thank the following individuals who were paramount in my inner healing through prayers, counseling, deliverance, mentorship, and discipleship:
First, I would like to thank God for His love, His unending mercies, and the grace He has bestowed upon my life to restore others through wisdom and counsel. You reminded me of Your passionate pursuits for my soul during the darkest hours and for that I give you praise, honor, and glory! I would like to thank my husband who was with me through every change and transition: being the good, the bad, and the controversial! You never stopped loving me, and despite the odds, you still saw me and wanted God for my being more than you wanted me for yourself. For that I say thank you for that gift of true love. You are my ride or die all the way until the end, my prayer partner for life, and I love you with all my heart. I would like to thank my baby boy Judah A. Tapley. Having you when I did brought so much revelation to my life. Carrying you and birthing you into this world showed me that I have what it takes to be the incubator and birther of beautiful things. You brought faith and strength out of me even in adversity. Thank you for adding so much joy to our lives. Never forget that you are so loved. May this book travel into your generations, remembering the battles that were overcome by your parents. I can’t wait to see the man of God you will become and the day your siblings will gather around to read these pages. Keep God with you and WORSHIP HIM ONLY! Keep Him first.
I would like to thank my parents, Arthur R. Logan and the late Robin C. Logan, for bringing me into this world. Daddy words cannot express how much of a loving father and provider you were. You are full of strength and wisdom. Mommy thank you for the courage you imparted into me to push forward in times of adversity. Thank you for your strength, the prayers that carried my destiny, and the real-life lessons you taught me in our very short time together. I would like to thank my Mother-in-law and Father-in-law, Gayle D. Tapley and Fred Tapley Sr. for your love and support as well as creating such an awesome gift to God. Without you, I would have never gotten to know and marry such a wonderful man of God, neither would we have our Judah. You have been a blessing.
I would also like to thank and honor my grandparents: Arthur Logan Sr., Ernestine Phillips, the late John Caldwell, the late Cynthia Williams, Robert Rogers, Charles L. Tapley, the late Jesse A. Tapley, and all who have come before me. Thank you for prospering the way for the next generation.
Last, but not least, I would like to thank my Apostles, Jermael and Carrie Anthony of Kingdom at Hand International Ministries. Words cannot express how much I love you guys. Thank you for all that you are, all that you have done, and for believing in me even when I didn’t have it in me to believe in myself. I honor you guys and dedicate this book to you because without you, this could not be. Apostle Jermael, I would like to thank you for your meek spirit, labor of love, suffering, and the stripes you took throughout these years for my husband and myself. We love and honor you. Apostle Carrie, I would like to thank you for your selflessness, power, and style that you have imparted into my life, and being my Obadiah in the season of adversity. You picked out my first fabulous wig, bought my first pair of stiletto shoes, and not to mention- my first Mac Lipstick! I appreciate who you have been to me, and I couldn’t have asked for a better spiritual mother. Thank you both for your labor of love in restoring my image. May the Lord bless and keep you, your family, and Kingdom at Hand International
