For many years Tim Chester's powerful guide to change has brought hope to Christians seeking to fully live in the freedom offered by Christ.

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!
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.
