Lord, Change My Attitude Before Its Too Late: Before Its Too Late is the best book title ever.
If that was the title of Evermore, Evermore would have legit been the next Twilight.
If Brian Dunkleman would have written a book called Lord, Change My Attitude Before Its Too Late: Before Its Too Late, he never would have been fired from anything for the rest of his life and he would have had excellent dental.

I really enjoyed reading this book with my small group. He takes you through a negative attitude in one chapter and a positive one in the next (Complaining/Thankful, Covetous/Contentment, Critical/Love, Doubting/Faith, Rebellious/Submissive). He asks questions that help you take a good hard look at yourself to see if these are attitudes that you need to work on. He introduces these attitudes by looking at the Isrealites in Numbers Chapters 11-16. This book definitely helped me to see how God fee...more
This book hits hard. I know a ton of people LOVE James MacDonald and I KNOW what he says is true, I just very often have a hard time hearing it...probably just me and an attitude adjustment that is needed, but I often feel scolded by James.
That being said, this is a great book to read. I have a ton of work with my Doubt and Rebellious Attitudes and feel that I need to continue to reread the portions on FAITH & SUBMISSION...about 100xs a year. Pray for me as God works on me in these areas!!

This is an excellent book that addresses the bad attitudes of complaining, coveting, being critical, doubting, rebelling.
It gives good practical advice on 5 corresponding good attitudes with which to replace the bad ones.
I had seen a lot of this material as a sermon series, but I was unable to watch the portion on rebelling, so to me that was the most powerful section of the book. It also could be because I don't like anyone telling me what to do. :)

Love James MacDonald! This is a great book on our attitudes while going through hard things in our lives, a lot of references to the Israelites and their trek through the desert and how their journey sometimes mirrors our journeys as well. Very practical book, easily understood from a great teacher of God's word.
This book changed how I relate to the world and to people. It helped me take charge of those negative attitudes that weigh me down and replace them with godly, positive attitudes. Any easy and challenging read!
This was a life-changing book for me. I can't really say anything other than if you know in your heart that you have an attitude problem with complaining, criticism, coveting or rebelling, you need this book.
It's my 2nd time to re-read this book. A good book to review once in awhile to refresh and remind oneself of any bad attitudes that I picked up since the last time I read it. :-D
This book has reveal kinds of small grumble, small complaint and relate to other bad attitudes which is often human carry out acted in term of every day life. Those attitudes which is kept people from God's blessing and at the same time that those bad attitudes have also destroyed the lives of God's people. I have realized through every single page that this book have somehow changed my thought, my old ways.....about being grumble and keeping complaint. I recommend for every one who has willing...more
I got a lot out of this book. I like the idea of replacing one attitude with another and that he lays the book out the way he does. He does go on a ton of tangents though and is, obviously, very Christian. I think anyone can read the book who wants to change their attitude for the better, but just know that it relies heavily on the Bible and God. I wish he would have been MUCH more concise, but other than that I liked it.
Great book. Really makes you think about our continuous sinful nature that keeps us from the fruits of the spirit.
Read this one for a summer Bible study and it was well worth the time. Re-reading this year.
An excellent book about our attitudes! A must read for all Christians!
this is a good study and i used this for my dads own bible study
Really enjoyed the clear, practical concepts.
This book is written if a really easy to read format. It's like the author is actually having a conversation with the reader.
It's set out wonderfully with bible references and quotations and even outlines suggested prayers at the end of each chapter. This was really helpful because it means you can pray about what you've just read and learned.
It's a fantastic book and I will highly recommend reading it for anyone, but particularly for people who want to change their attitudes in a Godly way.

When you are ready to change your attitude? Real change.
Loved this life changing book that addresses the heart & attitude. Would highly recommend!
I can't think of a single person who couldn't grow spiritually by reading this book. It was humbling and challenging, while affirming in knowing we can do NOTHING without Christ. I appreciated the author's candor and connection he had with the reader. I came away with several new areas of focus and prayer for my life ~ all to grow closer in fellowship with my Savior.
Absolutely life changing, for our entire family. It would be hard to read this book and not be changed. We did it as a Bible study with the kids in the evenings and I saw changes in everyone. We all worked together to challenge one another.
There was a thing or two we disagreed with but just an amazing work overall.

I have read this book several times and still plan to read it several more. It's convicting and really motivates me to change. I am certainly guilty of each attitude problem, and it's always good to come back and review. I would have to say this is one of my favorite christian books out there!
A friend of mine gave me this book. I already read the foreword. Somehow, the foreword make me feel that I'm not ready yet (to change my attitude).
So, everyday I try to make myself be ready. But the time has not come yet...

High aspiration causes me to read this every now and then. A good attitude is contagious, and I would prefer that people around me catch something fun and joyful.

I'm not exactly reading the book... I have the Bible study that goes along with the book, but that's not on goodreads. This was the next best option.
Excellent book! This is one of those books that even while you are reading it, you know you will want to read it again!
Love James MacDonald as a writer AND as a speaker! He's fun but has powerful things to say.
I can't say enough about this. It changed my life, and I often refer back to it for a refresher.
Love the way James tackles tough topics with clarity and inspires change.
