Relational Formation: Rethinking Why and How we Change

by Greg Mitchell

Change. There is no topic that causes as much anxiety as it does anticipation! We all want to be loved and accepted just the way we are, but we don’t want to stay that way. So how do we engage in a process of change that is life-giving? Relational Formation explores how God's Word gives us a better motive and method for change. Dr. Greg W. Mitchell uncovers a motive that runs deeper than cosmetic happiness, and a method that transforms our head, heart, and hands. He will help you experience practical change personally, as well as equip you to help others in their journey. This is a must-read for anyone who is looking for a simple, profound, and inspiring template for change.
