Life Change: Finding a New Way to Hope, Think, and Live
Ask anyone: “Is there something about your life that you would like to change?” and the answer will most likely be a resounding “YES!” Change is something most of us want but few of us practically achieve.
In Life Change, rising voice Jordan Easley takes a spiritual approach to the topic, walking readers through the book of Mark to highlight stories of life change in the Bible. Looking at seven miracles Jesus performed throughout that text and the people who were changed by them, Jordan shows how the power of God enables us to do what we are incapable of doing ourselves.
It may feel like the odds are stacked against us, but the good news is that change is possible, and it happens when we live out this three-step process:A NEW HOPE: Establish an authentic relationship that inspires and sustains hope in your life.A NEW WAY OF THINKING: As a result of that relationship, you have a new way of thinking.A NEW WAY OF LIVING: As a result of your new way of thinking, you have a new way of living. In Life Change my friend Jordan Easley guides us through Mark's Gospel with a focus on personal transformation. Life Change will make you uncomfortable with where you are while providing clarity about where you need to be.

I had the privilege of hearing Jordan preach his Life Change sermon series, each part of which directly relates to his book. Jordan uses many stories from his own life to illustrate examples that are very relatable. Encouraging the reader to start small -- just a simple change -- and build from there. Ultimately, you need God to perform a work in you to effect the change, but you have to be willing, open and honest about the change you need. A great, easy read from an incredibly motivated speaker and author.

The longer we tell ourselves and one another that if we just do these three things, God can better work through our lives, the further we are from the Gospel. Scripture tells us we have every spiritual blessing now. God is not holding back on us. While this book is exciting and makes you want to cheer for God, it points away from Jesus and toward ourselves for redemption. That is the opposite of good news.

While I think the premise of this book is a decent one, the steps focus too much on us and not enough on God's ability to change us (rather than our ability to change ourselves). There are much better books on the subject out there.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book, all opinions are my own.

Looks at characters and events in the Gospel of Mark to illustrate what life change entails and how Jesus is the Change Agent for us. Very readable and encouraging!

'Life Change: Finding a New Way to Hope, Think, and Live' by Jordan Easley is a guide for those wanting to change and stuck in their old ways. It's an easy enough read.
Using the book of Mark, and primarily seven miracles performed by Jesus, Jordan uses his light, humorous style to show a path out of bad habits and guides the reader toward transformation. With chapters on positioning your life for change and change that leads to freedom, the reader is guided to evaluate and let go of sin and the burdens that hold us back. There are warnings on the forces that would fight those changes in us. we see, in a new light perhaps, the paralytic lowered through the roof, a father with a dying daughter, and a demon-possessed man, all having the faith to ask God for help.
Christian self-help books hit me in a strange way. Much of what I've been taught as a christian is that we can't help ourselves, but we must rely on God for those changes. Jordan Easley balances the fine line between self-help and divine help, and I think he's successful with it. While at times the humor was a bit too much, it did help lighten what could have been a heavy subject.

We know change is hard. We make New Year's resolution - and then don't keep them! Jordan wants us to know that real change is possible. That is because God is the supernatural change agent. Jordan takes some of the encounters people had with Jesus from the gospel of Mark and gleans insights into change. We must be desperate for change and desperate for Jesus.
