Scripture and Other Copyright Acknowledgments

“There are few books that are shockingly honest, carefully theological, and gloriously hopeful all at the same time. Tim Chester’s book You Can Change is all of these and more. He skillfully uses the deepest insights of the theology of the word as a lens to help you understand yourself and the way of change and, in so doing, helps you to experience practically what you thought you already knew. The carefully crafted ‘Reflections’ and ‘Change Project’ sections are worth the price of the book by themselves. It is wonderful to be reminded that you and I are not stuck, and it’s comforting to be guided by someone who knows well the road from where we are to where we need to be.”
Paul David Tripp, author, New Morning Mercies: A Daily Gospel Devotional

“As a counselor, reading You Can Change is refreshing. I’m in the business of helping people to change, but they often 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

“The first edition of this super book has been a great help to me. Its content has been significant in my own progress toward holiness, and it has helped shape 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 traveler first and pastor second, but it is the unique combination of self-awareness, honesty, and spiritual hopefulness that makes reading and rereading this book worthwhile. 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; Head of National Ministries, Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches, UK

“Tim Chester’s helpful book should have a place in the libraries of all who desire personal heart change and are looking for a resource to share with others. It is filled with Scripture and an amazing variety of quotes from Christians, who point the reader to truth about the need for change and the means to implement such change. The reflections at the end of the chapters are useful for further study. May the Lord bless his church through this book.”
Caroline Newheiser, Director of Women’s Counseling, Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte

“When I was a new believer battling depression, You Can Change was one of the first books I read to better understand my own volatile emotions and the process of growing in Christ. Years later, I’m glad to recommend this updated edition to those who want to better understand their inner world in light of the Lord’s transforming mercy and grace. Heart work is hard work, to be sure. But as Tim demonstrates in these pages, there is hope and help for meaningful change in Christ. Let this useful book meet you where you are today—then let it show you how to take your next step in dependence on Jesus.”
