What if the gap between who you are and who you want to be isn't a character problem -- it's a practice problem? Most Christians want a deeper faith. They want to feel less anxious, love more freely, and respond to life's pressures the way Jesus would. But wanting change and experiencing it are two very different things. In If You're Not Changing, Something's Wrong , pastor and church leader Dermot Cottuli makes a bold claim: real, measurable transformation of your inner world is not only possible -- it's available to you right now. And it doesn't require more willpower, more guilt, or more effort. It requires presence, specifically, God's presence. "Brushing up against the Divine and holding our hearts there in quietness and trust can't help but have a profound impact on our lives." Drawing on nearly four decades of pastoral experience and his own honest journey of spiritual growth, Dermot introduces five practical methods that will bring you into God's presence and enable you to stay there long enough for you to be changed: Waiting on God, not just for God, Worshipping God in spirit and in truth, not just singing songs, Meditating on the Word, not just reading it, Praying in the Spirit according to God's will, not your own, and Fasting Each of these methods acts as a doorway into the one thing that actually changes people from the inside out: the presence of God.
This isn't a book about trying harder. It's a book about doing things differently -- consistently, humbly, and intentionally -- and allowing God's presence to do what only He can do. The transformation you've been hoping for isn't out of reach. It's one practice away. A FREE complimentary Study guide is included. Perfect for individuals and group discussions. -------------------------------------------- Dermot Cottuli is the Senior Pastor of Grace Church in Clarence Plains, Tasmania, Australia, where he has served for over two decades.
