Como Cambia la Gente: Como Cristo Nos Cambia Por Su Gracia Cuaderno de Estudios

by Timothy S. Lane, Paul David Tripp, David A. Powlison (Contribution by)

If youve ever tried, failed, and wondered why, you need How People Change! When the Bible talks about the gift of a new heart, it doesn't mean a heart that is immediately perfected, but a heart that is capable of being changed. Jesus' work on the cross targets our hearts, our core desires and motivations, and when our hearts change, our behavior changes. A changed heart is the bright promise of the gospel and the goal of CCEFs How People Change by biblical counseling experts Timothy S. Lane and Paul David Tripp. How People Change explains the biblical pattern for change in a clear, practical way you can apply to the challenges of daily life. But change involves more than a biblical you will see how God is at work to make you the person you were created to be. That powerful, loving, redemptive relationship is at the heart of all positive change you experience. Based on principles from the book, Lane and Tripp now offer the How People Change Study Guide for use in church-wide training, small group, Sunday school, youth group, or one-on-one discipleship settings. These materials help participants to understand the underlying motivations for their actions and give them specific, practical help in changing long-standing patterns of behavior, so they grow in love for God and others. Each of the twelve lessons includes teaching, homework discussion, CPR, Central truthPersonal applicationRelational application, detailed illustrations, group discussion guide, and ""Make It Real"" life applications. A self-explanatory Facilitator's Guide provides twelve lessons, directions on how to guide a small group through the Study Guide, extra content, homework discussion, detailed illustrations, and ""Make It Real"" life applications. Both the study guide and the facilitators guide are also available in Spanish as How People Change Workbook (study guide) and How People Change Leaders Guide (facilitators guide).In the How People Change Seminar (DVD) Paul Tripp and Tim Lane guide people in understanding how Christ's life, death, and resurrection bring lasting change. Through the introduction, twelve sessions, and conclusion participants will be challenged to experience the deep-down change that the gospel of Jesus Christ brings and given the tools to understand the basic principles in the How People Change Study Guide.

About the author

Timothy S. Lane, M. Div., D. Min.
Born in Sylvania, Georgia, Tim enjoyed a good relationship with his parents in his formative years, but he did not become involved in church until his later teens. Just before his senior year in high school, Tim became aware of his sin and his need for Jesus. God used simple salvation sermons at a local church, as well as a group of friends, to bring him to Christ at the age of seventeen.

In 1984, Tim graduated with a degree in English and Philosophy from the University of Georgia. Before going to seminary in 1987, Tim served 3 years as a staff person at an evangelical ministry where he met Barbara, whom he later married in 1989. In 1991, Tim graduated from Westminster Seminary in Philadelphia.

In 1991, Tim and Barbara also moved to South Carolina where Tim served as assistant pastor and then pastor at Clemson Presbyterian Church until 2001. It was during these 10 years that Tim truly began to understand and apply the gospel to his life and ministry. He learned that the blessings and difficulties of marriage, family and ministry were just the things God used to draw him into a deeper relationship with Him. He also learned how to apply God’s truth to everyday life and ministry, pointing others to Christ and his gospel of grace.

Tim, Barbara and their four children moved to Philadelphia in 2001 where they both serve at the Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation. Tim is a counselor and faculty member at CCEF and a lecturer in practical theology at Westminster Theological Seminary. He is also a speaker, the author of CONFLICT and the co-author of HOW PEOPLE CHANGE and RELATIONSHIPS: A Mess Worth Making.
