You Can Change: God's Transforming Power for Our Sinful Behavior and Negative Emotions (Second Edition) - Paperback

by Tim Chester (Author)

Finding Victory over Sin and Struggle Through Joy in Christ

It's about heart change, not just behavior change. Tim Chester uses this belief to help everyday Christians connect the truth about God to their Monday-morning struggles. Written for both new believers struggling with sin and mature Christians who have plateaued in their faith, this practical, workbook-style guide helps readers find victory over sin in their lives.

With the conviction that sanctification is God's work and the journey to holiness is joyful, Chester leads readers through a "change project," beginning with the selection of one area in their lives they want to modify. Each chapter features a guiding question to help readers as they deal with a specific sin or struggle, truths from God's word, and a reflection guide to support readers through their change project.

• Explores Sanctification: Focuses on heart transformation over behavior modification
• Reflective: Offers thought-provoking questions, further Scripture readings, writing prompts, and application steps
• Practical: This workbook-style format helps readers take practical steps toward real change
• Ideal for New Christians and Believers Seeking Deeper Growth
