Publisher's Synopsis
Previously published as "Changed by God: Unlocking the Prison of Self-Improvement" by Audrey Steele.
This is NOT your typical self-help book. Change is God's work. Surrender is yours. Trying harder to be a better person doesn't work. You might be able to make some temporary changes through willpower, but when life's challenges drain your energy and focus, you'll return to your behavior "default modes." It's not that you aren't trying hard enough. It's that you don't know who you are. Your actions are dictated by your most deeply held beliefs, whether or not you're aware of them, and whether or not they're true. If you agree with the enemy's lies about who you are, your false identity will run the show. You'll continue to be chained to the emotions and behaviors you're trying to escape. You don't need BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION---you need IDENTITY RECONSTRUCTION. That's where God comes in. With your permission and cooperation, He can strip away everything that contaminates or dilutes your created identity. As you believe the truth of who He made you to be, you'll experience radical transformation. This book will take you on a journey of surrender. All you stand to lose is your façade, your pursuit of counterfeits, your false identity, your personal strongholds, and your small dreams.
