Book Review: LORD, Change Me.....

The scripture enjoins that believers need be careful not to make promises they can’t guarantee to keep. It is pretty easy to exhibit genuine brokenness in sober reflection by raising up the hands during a worship service while the processional hymnal “Unto Jesus I surrender” is humming in the background. Change, according to God’s dictionary, often demands a total overhaul! Change is that feat no man could ever prepare for. Real change not mere makeovers or even transformation is only ever achieved as we yield ourselves totally and walk in partnership with God.

In Lord, Change Me author James Macdonald attempts to remind the Christian pilgrim about the importunity of this commitment however long it takes or cost.
He explores man’s spiritual condition, the importance of the process of change and its objectives along sound exegetical channels of how to attain lasting change.
Lord, change Me comes packed with compelling anecdotes, practical biblical passages to explore, and many more.
Human methodologies, monasticism or abstinence, solitude as well as adhering to behaviorism principles will forever result in complete failure.
The biblical Jacob tried in futility to adopt this strategy. Apparently, this patriarch’s change wasn't ever going to come unless he was willing to surrender himself to be “changed” by God. He had to come to the realization that no matter how sleek, how organized, or busy he’d wander far away out of sight: he’d only continue to live in denial hoping his past would bury itself!

For all those who have tried to change, or struggling with the concept of change but have flopped; Lord, Change Me could be helpful.
The only way to attaining real change therefore is embedded in the book title itself: Lord, Change Me.
