review:

'Life Change: Finding a New Way to Hope, Think, and Live' by Jordan Easley is a guide for those wanting to change and stuck in their old ways. It's an easy enough read.



Using the book of Mark, and primarily seven miracles performed by Jesus, Jordan uses his light, humorous style to show a path out of bad habits and guides the reader toward transformation. With chapters on positioning your life for change and change that leads to freedom, the reader is guided to evaluate and let go of sin and the burdens that hold us back. There are warnings on the forces that would fight those changes in us. we see, in a new light perhaps, the paralytic lowered through the roof, a father with a dying daughter, and a demon-possessed man, all having the faith to ask God for help.



Christian self-help books hit me in a strange way. Much of what I've been taught as a christian is that we can't help ourselves, but we must rely on God for those changes. Jordan Easley balances the fine line between self-help and divine help, and I think he's successful with it. While at times the humor was a bit too much, it did help lighten what could have been a heavy subject.



I received a review copy of this ebook from B&H Books and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
