Most people can think of different areas in their lives they′d like to change. But actually changing them? That′s the problem! The good news is‚ God is all about changing lives.

"In the years I have been a pastor‚" writes Rick Warren‚ "the number−one question I′m asked is‚ ′Rick‚ why can′t I change?′" People want to change − but they′re stuck.

Rick Warren offers advice on how to get unstuck. This is no pie−in−the−sky theory. It′s what redemption is about‚ and it′s founded on the resurrection power of Jesus himself. Power that cancels your past and sets you free to get on with life. Power to conquer your problems. Power to change.

Do you want to ...

− become a more joyful person?

− cultivate a peaceful life in this uptight world?

− be a kinder‚ more gracious individual? − replace self−indulgence with self−control?

− experience what the truly "good life" is all about?

You can! All of the above and more are covered in plain‚ straightforward language. As you apply the truth of God′s Word by the power of his Spirit‚ your life will change. You′ll move out of your rut − and get on track with God′s wonderful purposes for your life.

Rick Warren is often called "America's most influential spiritual leader." He founded Saddleback Church in Orange County, California, which is now one of the largest and best-known churches in the world. He also founded the Purpose Driven Movement, a network of tens of thousands of churches from all denominations in 160 countries. He has trained over 350,000 pastors worldwide. Calling him a "spiritual entrepreneur," Forbes magazine said, "If Warren's ministry was a business it would be compared with Dell, Google, or Starbucks in impact." Rick and Kay Warren give away 90 percent of the profits from their books to charitable causes, including their global P.E.A.C.E. plan and Acts of Mercy, which services those infected with and affected by AIDS. He is the author of The Purpose Deiven Life.
