Craig Groeschel - The Power to Change: Mastering the Habits That Matter Most

This is the book Craig Groeschel was born to write. I felt like I was being let behind the curtain of a life lived at full throttle. Is it a roadmap to getting unstuck? Is it a manual for the kind of life you know you were designed to live? Is it an invitation to an adventure with God? Yes, a thousand times, yes!

Jon Acuff, New York Times bestselling author, Soundtracks: The Surprising Solution to Overthinking

Craig Groeschel makes change feel possible. It isnt easy to stop what we shouldnt do and start what we should, but Craig serves as a compassionate guide and makes change feel accessible with simple exercises and introspective questions.

Jennie Allen, New York Times bestselling author; founder and visionary, IF: Gathering

If youve struggled to change your habits, this book is an immense help. Ive read more than a few habit books, but this one made the power to change even clearer and easier to do than ever before. Read this book!

Carey Nieuwhof, bestselling author, At Your Best; host, The Carey Nieuwhof Leadership Podcast

I often think that when people want to change, they look to remedies and a wide range of self-help solutions. But this book points you to supernatural lasting change by pointing you to the love of our heavenly Father and power in his name. Pastor Craig does it again, writing in such a clear way how change is possible because of Gods power in us, not our own.

Sadie Robertson Huff, author; speaker; founder, Live Original

Newtons first law of motion says that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by a greater external force. Change will happen only when something greater compels it to happen. In The Power to Change, Craig Groeschel provides the blueprint for harnessing the power of biblical truth to change situations we may have long given up on out of hopelessness. This book will truly change your life.

Nona Jones, business executive; speaker; author, Killing Comparison

How frustrating it is to want to change some things in our lives and not be able to. Even more frustrating is not knowing why we cant. Here in this book, Pastor Craig brings to light, in a practical and simple way, step by step how to make the changes we want. The best of everything? Based on the power and Word of God.

Kak, Brazilian soccer player (retired) and FIFA World Player of the Year 2007

Once again, Craig has put together a deep, practical, and immediately applicable tool for all of us who want to become the people that God sees in us. I cant stop thinking about it.

Patrick Lencioni, bestselling author, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team

The Power to Change is your guide to getting unstuck, gaining clarity on your calling, and stepping into the person you were born to be.

Jamie Kern Lima, New York Times bestselling author, Believe It; founder, IT Cosmetics

When I read this book, my first thought was Craig truly gets it! He sees the importance of how we think, feel, and choose, and how this can impact how we function in our day-to-day lives and our ability to change. His book is a natural outpouring of his genuine love for people and his faith.

Dr. Caroline Leaf, clinical neuroscientist and bestselling author

For the last several decades, Pastor Craig has been such an encouraging voice in helping people become the best version of who God created them to be. In The Power to Change, he offers practical advice and biblical wisdom so every person can have great impact.

Tim Tebow, former professional athlete; five-time New York Times bestselling author; founder, Tim Tebow Foundation
