Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I couldn’t love my enemies, so I tried to change and prayed to God to make me love them. But I didn’t even love some of my friends, so I prayed for God to help me change that, too. Not long after that, I realized that my hope was not in the outside, in trying to become the person I thought Jesus was, the person I thought Sermon on the Mount followers should be. The only place my hope resided was in the inside of me. I had to change the way I looked at myself. That was the only place I could change. -> A lot of people want to change and would answer yes to these questions, but many of them do not believe it is possible. They lead a Christian life of quiet desperation, longing for change but certain it will never happen. #2 We have been taught that we cannot change, so we stop trying. #3 If you want to change, stop trying to change and change yourself. You can’t change other people, so stop looking for them to change, too. #4 You don’t have control over what you can’t see. You have control over what you can see.
