Inside Out: Real Change Is Possible If You're Willing to Start from The...

This is an excellent book. We are using it in our Sunday morning Kingdom Living Institute class. I would recommend it.

There are very few books that I have read and re-read that contintinue to challenge me like "Inside Out". It exposes us for who we really are, and what strategies, or excuses that we use to maintain our independence from God and others. It is a must read for those who really want to change from the inside out.

If you are a pastor or not, read this book. I thought this book is going to be about psychology but it wasn't. I read this book because it was recommended by a book called "False Intimacy: Understanding the Struggle of Sexual Addiction (Paperback) by Harry W. Schaumburg" The book is from a christian world view, and claims that the problems with people isn't mental disorder but the problems is from a fallen nature as the bible said. He also goes on to talk about the fact that we often try to use common sayings in the Christian world to sovle our problems, when they really don't. Some Christians will say that if your struggling with emotional problems, just study more, attend bible study and do all other kinds of Christian's duty to make things better. You can also ask the Holy Spirit to take your problems away. Why all these are good, sometimes Christians don't get to the root of the problem because of the image Christians try to protray that nothing is wrong. The one thing that I find that is helpful about the book is that, he does write that rather than asking God to take problems and past hurts away, ask hin to get you through it. Even if the pain is hurtful, like a cheating spouse, or divorce etc. While this is not what the world teaches us, the Scripture tell us that God is in control. Great book...

I have read a couple of other books by Dr Crabb "The Pressure's Off" and "Shattered Dreams" I had never heard of "Inside Out" before and was intrigued by the back cover. So I bought it.Insight out has proved to be life-changing for me. I became aware of areas of sin in my heart that I never even knew existed before. Reading this book was both worthwhile and painful. Dr Crabb tells it like it is, but does so in a humble and loving way. This book will give a lot to think about and ponder and points the way to a deeper walk with Christ. This is a book I intend to read again and again. I think this book should be read by all Christians, including new Christians. But I also definitely think that older Christians will benefit greatly as well. I also like the way that Dr Crabb discusses the importance of genuine repentance and what true repentance looks like. This book offers real solutions to a real problem.

Turned my world upside-down. Brought me face-to-face with my hidden motives and forced me to confront the totality of my sin. I've never been the same (thank God!).
