Description
When someone you care about is stuck in sin, you'll feel the urgency to help them change, and the frustration when they don't. In Helping Someone Change, you'll discover a gospel-rooted roadmap: instead of management, coercion, or mere behavior modification, this book invites you to partner in true heart-transformation. You'll learn how to lean into God's kindness, embrace your limits, engage wisely with another's story, and walk alongside someone toward lasting change. Whether you're a friend, spouse, parent, pastor, or lay-counselor, this book offers clarity, hope, and tools to help someone be changed by Christ-not just you.
