You Can Change cover

The new and revised edition of You Can Change, continuing to offer hope for change through Christ.

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. Tim Chester is a senior faculty member of Crosslands Training in the UK. Tim has written more than forty books, including A Meal with Jesus and Enjoying God.

'As a counsellor, reading this updated version of You Can Change is refreshing. I'm in the business of helping people to change, but often, people lack clarity on exactly what needs to change and how (and how long it might take!). Tim’s book gives clear, practical guidance that brings Jesus to the forefront, reminding us that it is only by his power that we become more like him. This book is full of grace and hope. I highly recommend it!' -- Kristin L. Kellen, Associate Professor of Biblical Counseling, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
'Fifteen years ago, the first edition of this super book was a great help to me: its content has been significant in my own progress towards holiness; and it has helped shaped much of my pastoral approach to the same subject as I have the privilege of a front row seat in people's lives. It is still needed, not least because of the unchanging spiritual battles we all face. In fact, I think the need now is greater and this revised volume keeps the content fresh and applies it in new and helpful directions that resonate with today's challenges. Tim writes as a fellow traveller first, pastor second - but it is the unique combination of this self-awareness, honesty and spiritual hopefulness that makes reading and rereading worth while. Here you will find pastoral carefulness and historical insight, all filtered through the lens of biblical faithfulness, from the pen of one of our finest Christian authors.' -- Adrian Reynolds, pastor, author and Head of National Ministries, Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches, UK
