Description
Reframing your perspective can transform your life.
We often face circumstances that we cannot change—a job we are forced to keep, a relationship that did not work out, a decision we cannot take back. Life can overwhelm us, and we may not be able to see past the obstacles in our path.
Laurie Short offers a simple but revolutionary idea: change nothing that is around you yet still change everything about your life. With the help of four different lenses, Laurie shows how the way you see can have an impact on how you live. If you put on the right lenses, you can reframe whatever comes your way and embrace both the good and the bad, recognizing that every detail of your life is fully in God's sovereign hands. Your perspective has more power than you think to determine the course of your life.
Advance Praise
"Dallas Willard used to say that eternity is already in session. Laurie Short has written an elegant invitation to live life from inside eternity rather than on the outside."
—John Ortberg, senior pastor, Menlo Church
"Laurie Short has written a powerful and empowering book.
She's proven why perspective matters, but even deeper, she's shown us we
have control over the aperture of our lives. And who doesn't need a new
lens on life?"
—Nicole Johnson, founder of the nonprofit organization Seasons Weekend (formerly a part of Women of Faith), author of Creating Calm in the Center of Crazy
"The flourishing of our lives depends so much not only on what, but how we see. In When Changing Nothing Changes Everything,
Laurie Short has offered us a concise, accessible guidebook that
provides not only helpful instruction but—more importantly—hope for how a
proper vision of the life we have can lead to the very world of
goodness and beauty for which we long so deeply. Read this book—and see
your life change before your very eyes."
—Curt Thompson, author of The Soul of Shame and Anatomy of the Soul
"The true stories Laurie uses throughout this book make its message
impossible to ignore. If you need your world rocked by new eyes for your
current circumstances, then you need this book."
—Lisa Anderson, director of Boundless.org, author of The Dating Manifesto
