Synopsis

Are you truly serious about allowing the power of God to transform your life? If you are, then prepare yourself for an incredible, life-changing experience. Change is difficult, but it's made even harder without practical guidance on how to do it. You will find that guidance in Lord, Change Me. James MacDonald is serious about the business of change according to God's Word. While many tell us that we should change and be more like Christ, MacDonald actually teaches us how to do it.  Lord, Change Me is split into three sections as the model for approaching change:

• The Preparation for Change: choosing the right method and partnering with God to select the areas in need of change in your life.
• The Process of Change: exploring the biblical method of saying 'no' to sinful patterns and 'yes' to the things God desires for you.
• The Power to Change: explaining how to experience the power of God personally and continuously.

This is a book about a different you. There are no warm fuzzies within these pages. Rather, MacDonald is a direct, to-the-point pastor with a heart for seeing lives completely transformed by the truth of the Gospel. If you're serious about changing your life, this book is just what you need.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

If only changing your heart was as easy as changing your clothes. . .

 . . .but it's not. This is a book for those who know that they can't change alone and want to give their lives over to the transforming power of the gospel.

A note from author James MacDonald:

"I have written this book to actually help people change. It's for people who desperately want to change, a practical 'How-to' manual about you changing - not others. When I began in pastoral ministry I was out to change the world, but quickly and painfully learned that God was more interested in changing me. The truths in this book are stained with my own tears of trying and failing and trying again to be the man God wants me to be. So I have written this with the urgency of a loving heart for you and your situation. There are three sections in his book - the preparation for change, the process of change, and the power to change, which will guide you step by step in allowing the Holy Spirit to transform your life. Also included are helpful tools to assist you in the journey toward change, such as study questions, exercises, and single sentence chapter summaries. When you finish it, drop me a note. I love to hear stories of transformed lives. May this book be used by God to accelerate His agenda for transformation in you."
