In Romans 12: 2 tPt – the Passion translation, we read that God is in the business of transformation.  ‘Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you.  But be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think.  This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life …..‘

SOME KEY TITLES:  Change starts in our own personal lives.  There are some striking stories of individuals being transformed.  Taming of a villain is one such story.  This is an honest account of how an addicted criminal became a prison ministry evangelist.  God is now using his ministry to transform other lives.  Restored and forgiven is another powerful account of God transforming lives.  But this time the authors are victims of a crime, the murder of their son.  God asked them to forgive his murderers.  Little did they know that this would lead to a ministry to restore others.

But not all these titles are prison related!  As God changes our lives, He gives us the desire to see transformation in the world around us.  God’s healing for businesses teaches that the activities of businesses can be affected by spiritual factors.  This is a powerful little handbook about praying into such challenges.  We can pray in a similar way to praying with individuals.  Redeeming our communities is about what can happen in response to prayer.  When good policing and practical work by churches come together, crime can fall and communities can prosper.
