As Christians we are called to be change agents. We are to be used of God to point people to Christ and let Him do the changing. If people are being changed, society and culture will be changed as well. Os Hillman does a great job of showing how we can be change agents of the Lord Most High in the realms of our lives.

DAVID GREEN

FOUNDER AND CEO, HOBBY LOBBY

The Holy Spirit is very serious about calling forth an aggressive army of God to transform our society. One of the tangible indications of this fact can be seen in the remarkable mushrooming of superb literature on the subject. Os Hillmans Change Agent is the latest and arguably the best transformation textbook now available. Lets regard this as our operations manual for pushing back the enemy and inviting Gods kingdom to penetrate our society! Lets all get it, read it, digest it, and act on it! We can truly be change agents!

CHANCELLOR EMERITUS, WAGNER LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE

More than any other, the concept of seven mountains has captured the imagination of Christian leaders internationally. It would be important for us to hear what Os Hillman has to say.

Master storyteller Os Hillman has written a book here that should be read by every layman in the country. It presents a good overview of the issues facing our culture today and what we as Christians can do about it. Its also a great small group study for people who are willing to rethink many of the culture concepts they have been living with.

RALPH PALMEN

PRESIDENT, PINNACLE FORUM AMERICA

This book is very timely written as the world groans for the sons and daughters to arise as change agents to bring solutions to lives, society, and nations. There is a prophecy that shall be fulfilled by a passionate group of kingdom-minded leaders: The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever! (Rev. 11:15). I believe this book casts a vision for believers to impact our world as change agents in the seven mountains or kingdoms of influence. It will challenge and motivate the readers as it provides a track for understanding Gods processes in the making of great leaders who as catalysts shall become change agents.

PAT FRANCIS, PHD

SENIOR PASTOR, KINGDOM COVENANT CENTER

God has called you to impact the culture in your sphere of influence, and Os Hillman shows you exactly which steps to take. This will be an invaluable tool for you of biblical models, current examples, and spiritual insights as you seek to be Gods agent of change!

KENT HUMPHREYS

AMBASSADOR, FCCI / CHRIST@WORK

I loved the book because it showed a balanced and personal view on being a change agent. This has absolutely, truly blessed my socks off! I am excited for the readers who will glance into their destiny through this book. Outstanding!

CHERYL A. HILL, DDIV

PRESIDENT, GODS GREEN AFRICA

The Bible says to pray, Your kingdom come; Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. But what does that look like, and what are Christians to do in the face of the dramatic moral decay of society today? Os Hillman answers those questions with a comprehensive blueprint for change agents. First, he grounds the reader in a biblical worldview framework for society. But before he says, Charge into the battle, he takes the reader through the refining process of character preparation. Finally he paints the picture of how change agents can extend the kingdom on earth through the seven mountains of society. In this book Os has given Christians an essential tool to equip them for Gods call on their lives in one of the most tumultuous periods in history.

Os Hillmans book offers a great explanation of where Gods kingdom has come from, where it is at, and where God is leading. Hillman does a masterful job of depicting heroes of the marketplace and other mountains while explaining how we all can become change agents. I recommend this book for all those who have prayed, Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done.

AL CAPERNA

DIRECTOR, CALL2ALL BUSINESS NETWORK CEO, CMC GROUP

Not only does Os Hillman provide an honest and comprehensive view of todays culture, but he also shows us how we can significantly impact it by becoming Gods change agent. Think you cant make a difference? Think again. This book will both challenge and encourage you to live a life greater than what you thought possible.

Many marketplace leaders and others are tired of going to conferences and reading books that load them down with information. This book not only provides great biblical teaching in a relative and easily understood manner, but it also provides great tools that can be immediately applied to bring change agents into their destinies and actually see transformation in their cities.

FORD TAYLOR

COFOUNDER, TRANSFORMATION CINCINNATI/N. KENTUCKY

I am convinced that God is calling Christians to engage both people and social structures with His transforming gospel. Over the years Os Hillmans books have inspired, challenged, and equipped me for this task in my own business life. I would highly recommend Change Agent to every Christian who is serious about engaging strategically in Gods call to a ministry of transformation and influence in all of the various spheres of society.

GRAHAM POWER

In his book Change Agent, Os Hillman combines extensive research, anecdotal referencing, and his personal experiences to deliver another profitable book to the body of Christ. Those who desire to be a part of reforming our society will find this to be compelling reading.
