For years, Tim Chester’s powerful guide to change has brought hope to Christians seeking to live in the freedom offered by Christ. This new and revised edition gathers timeless wisdom from the Bible, and past generations of the Church, to empower readers in their pursuit of a Christ-centred life.
Over ten chapters, You Can Change sets out why Christians can expect change to be possible. It takes us through common obstacles and sets out how to engage in the daily battle that lasting change often requires. Throughout, it focuses on the centrality of God’s grace and the transforming power of faith in Christ to bring true hope for us in our struggles.
Whether you are new to Christianity, a long-time Christian or returning to faith, this book will provide you with an honest and practical guide to living a life that honours God and blesses those around you.
