Gary Smalley (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2008

Out of your heart flow your words and actions. Change your heart, and you'll change your life.

According to best-selling author Dr. Gary Smalley, nobody has to live by the destructive subtle lies or believe the distortions of truth this world holds out to us. There are steps, strategies, and beliefs people can bring to their lives to either totally transform them or quietly improve them-and it all starts with hiding God's Word in their hearts.

Hiding God's Word in his heart radically changed the life of Smalley himself, and he is seeing it revolutionize the lives of people around him as well-from lust, materialism, selfishness, anger, stress, overeating, anxiety, and guilt, just to name a few. No matter a person's age, experiences, or previous patterns, this book will guide readers to the whys and hows of orchestrating their beliefs to forever change their lives and relationships.

Gary Smalley has written one of the most amazing books I have ever read. Reading his story about how we walked away from the rewarder and worried about the rewards shows how we can all get caught up into worrying about worldy stuff. Gary takes us back to the basics, back to the bible and the word of truth. This book has changed my life, and I know it will change yours.

This review is from: Change Your Heart, Change Your Life: How Changing What You Believe Will Give You the Great Life You've Always Wanted (Hardcover)

I have always found good things in Dr Smalley's books...this one had some real practical suggestions that fit many different problems. His candor about his own life struggles and experience's make you feel like he's in this struggle with you and isn't talking down to you. He "has and is" struggling with some of the same problems we all have. I have wondered why I struggle to gain a closer relationship with God. Opening up my heart to other's is the key to opening my heart up to God.

There are many books on the market telling us that all growth comes from changed thinking but few give helpful instruction on how. They add to our pressure to change pointing in the right direction but build no bridges to the other side. Gary tells us how and gives the material with which one can construct. He tells how long to expect it to take (faster than you might think). Anyone can do this, even children ... as you read the bell of truth rings and something inside says "this is right".
