This Changes Everything: How God Can Transform Your Mind and Change Your Life
Overview
How does God change your life? It begins in your mind. If you are unable to change your thoughts and see the world from a different viewpoint, there can be no transformation “by the renewing of your mind” (Rom. 12:2). While thinking differently is difficult, the Bible makes it clear that it is a necessary part of spiritual growth. In This Changes Everything, renowned missiologist C. Peter Wagner draws upon the thought-transforming shifts that have taken place in his life and explains how God has used them to move him into new areas of ministry. You will learn how to distinguish “moral imperatives” from “personal preferences” on the paradigm spectrum, be encouraged to follow God’s leading in shifting your mindset, and be inspired to step out in faith to the new places where God will lead you.

Since I had no religious background, I had no reason to question what I was learning. In fact, I naively thought that just about all Christians would believe the same things, so what I was hearing must be right and agreeable to all. Among other things, I learned that the Bible says that no matter how we behave, we can never be free from sin. This puzzled me, but only a little bit. No big deal!” (Page 101)
