Description

Who was it that said "Don't be surprised that you cannot make other people change into who you want them to be; you can't change yourself into who you want to be!" Well, not entirely, anyway.

We might be relieved if God placed our sanctification only in the hands of "trained professionals", but that is not His plan. Instead, through the ministry of every part of the body, the whole church will mature in Christ. Paul Tripp helps us discover how change really takes place, and his special strength is to help us learn to "speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4).

"Tripp is a careful and skillful physician of the heart. He unites a loving heart with a mind trained to the Scriptures. This book is a great companion for pastors and counselors. It will guide anyone who wants to give real help to others, the saving help found in Christ's redeeming work."
-- Richard Phillips

Helping people change bad habits to good takes massive patience with the instruction. Tripp's book is a real storehouse of wisdom as to what sort of person you need to be, if you'd be a tool God uses to change others. Is your family and church one where growing people are being changed to the image of Christ, or one where impatience is producing the bad fruit of further rebellion?
