Counseling Books to add to your Library: How People Change
We've made a big deal of CCEF in the last e-journal, and deservingly so. They have written a lot of great books that are tremendous help to our congregation. Let me introduce to you one CCEF book that you might consider buying...
How People Change is basically a book on sanctification. This book does a great job in setting forth a biblical theology of change and motivation. If you are looking to answer the question, "Why do people do the things they do?", this is a good book to read!
Our own pastor (Mark Dever) has written about the book: "This book is applied theology. It's about heat, thorns, the cross, and fruit. It's about present grace. In sixteen short and well-illustrated chapters, the wonderful prospect of change for the good is held out for the reader. We are called to consider our circumstances and our responses to them, and beneath that to examine our hearts desires and to turn afresh to Christ's cross."
If you are interested in checking out more books by CCEF, you can go to New Growth Press .



Small things amuse me, in this case my 5 year old daughter, who was reading over my shoulder and saw the cover of your book with the title "how people change."
She said "That's silly! It's not 'how people change', it's 'how trees change'! See? Little, middle, big!"
Anyway I am sure it is a very worthwhile book, but I thought you might enjoy that bit of commentary.

Thanks, Gordon! Sounds exactly like something my 4 year old son would say...

Excellent book -- I've just gotten into it, and I am VERY encouraged about its immediate usefulness in my ministry. Biblical, straight-forward and well written.
