Book Description
I REALLY want to change. Do you? Are you truly serious about allowing the power of God to transform your life? If you are, then prepare yourself for an incredible, life-changing experience. Change is difficult, but it's made even harder without practical guidance on how to do it. You will find that guidance in I Really Want to Change ... So, Help Me God. James MacDonald is serious about the business of change according to God's Word. While many tell us that we should change and be more like Christ, MacDonald actually teaches us how to do it.I Really Want to Change ... So, Help Me God is split into three sections as the model for approaching change: The Preparation for Change: choosing the right method and partnering with God to select the areas in need of change in your life. The Process of Change: exploring the biblical method of saying 'no' to sinful patterns and 'yes' to the things God desires for you. The Power to Change: explaining how to experience the power of God personally and continuously.This is a book about a different you. There are no warm fuzzies within these pages. Rather, MacDonald is a direct, to-the-point pastor with a heart for seeing lives completely transformed by the truth of the Gospel. If you're serious about changing your life, I Really Want to Change ... So, Help Me God is just what you need.

An insightful walk thru God's Word for real life change May 4, 2006
James is just as candid with his writing as he is in speaking. He is a conversational writer that gets to the point and his points are always well poised. If you are looking for biblical instruction that is easily applied to your life, this is a read for you. I've taught numerous sermons based upon this writing and would recommend it to anyone seeking life change based on Godly principles.
Biblical Principles Revealed Apr 23, 2006
In a way, the book should be titled, "I Really Want to Repent...So, Help Me God" because the focus of the book *is* about change through true repentance.
Having said that, it was a difficult (in a good way) book for me to read as it forced me to face my sins and make a decision as to whether I would trust God or if I would continue to do things my way.
If you're struggling with depression or something similar, it may not necessarily be the book to read because it's possible to be depressed and not fully understand the source of the depression. I think in this case, praying to God and asking Him to reveal the source; there are so many different factors that cause depression.
While it is a challenge, I highly recommend this book for anyone who is seriously desiring to change ... that is repent and turn away for their sins.
You Will Change Jul 16, 2005
I slowly worked through this book more than once. My attitude changed towards my former husband. After 10 years of separation I offered to reconcile.It is an excellent book.
THIS BOOK CHANGED MY LIFE Jan 8, 2004
Forget secular self help books, this book gives you a structured biblical approach to change that really works, I bought the Tape eries from his web site for over $50 because I loved the book so much.
The strategies only work if you commit and put faith in God.
No Help For Those In Need Dec 12, 2002
As a born-again Christian of over twenty years who is struggling with emotional issues, I found this book useless and stopped reading after the first couple of chapters. I have been struggling with the author's recommended methods of change for over twenty years and they have not allowed me to overcome my covert depression tendencies.
To so cavalierly disregard other methods of help as he does in Chapter 1 does nothing to further along the process of helping those truly in need. What he is doing is telling a drowning person to swim harder, rather than throwing them a life preserver. I found the advice similar to that of a misguided individual who told a friend that their child died of cancer because they did not pray hard enough.
Yes, I believe in God and Jesus Christ as my savior. However, I do not believe an individual unskilled in alternative therapies, as the author appears to be, should disregard meaningful help that can be used in addition to a solid belief in God and His tender mercies.
Any one struggling with covert depression tendencies or trying to make sense of emotional distress will find the author's suggestions simplistic and a retread of what can be heard from the pulpit on Sunday.
