    About this ebook

    If you had the chance to change your life for the better, would you?  All it takes is a decision.

    Trapped by harmful habits, behaviors, and attitudes, we struggle to become the person God has created and called us to be. Saddleback Church teaching pastor Doug Fields says it’s never too late to get a fresh start. With personal stories and youthful writing, Doug challenges readers to recognize that they may say they want God in their lives, but they really don’t want to change. They are stuck. He says, "It’s not about trying harder, it’s about plugging into God’s transforming power and submitting your entire life to Christ. Age doesn’t matter; fresh starts are for everyone." Topics include:

    • Dealing with pride
    • Defining success
    • Living with guilt
    • Struggling with conflicts
    • Finding true friendships
    • Overcoming discouragement
    • Facing rejection
    • Attacking anger
