Tripp, Paul David and Timothy Lane. How People Change. New Growth Press, 2006; 2nd ed. 2008. 223pp. $17.99.
How People Change promises to be a worthwhile book for pastors and non-pastors alike. The change of heart is so important when trying to give counsel to anyone. More times than we care to admit, there is a sin problem at the root of many of our problems.
Here’s the publisher’s description:
A changed heart is the bright promise of the gospel. When the Bible talks about the gift of a new heart, it doesn’t mean a heart that is immediately perfected, but a heart that is capable of being changed. Jesus’ work on the cross targets our hearts-our core desires and motivations-and when our hearts change, our behavior changes. It’s amazing to watch people who once seemed stuck in a pattern of words, choices, and behaviors start living in a new way as Christ changes their hearts.
