Changing on the Inside by John White

Spiritual Recovery Is an Inside Job

Can people change really change? Do you long for change but doubt it can happen? When you hear stories of dramatic conversions and astonishing recoveries, do you wonder how long they will last? Are you afraid of the pain of changing?

Changing on the Inside will convince you that change for the better is not only possible but essential for your emotional and spiritual well-being.

Drawing on years of experience as a psychiatrist, Dr. John White looks closely at the relationship between repentance and emotional health. He examines the nature of healthy and lasting change—not superficial adjustments, not new resolutions, or outward conformity, but real change that results in peace, intimacy, and a vital connection with God.

This book explores the psychology and theology of change. Learn how to open yourself to God's grace, find freedom from guilt, and experience profound and lasting recovery.

Dr. John White lives in Vancouver, British Columbia and is a psychiatrist and writer with a worldwide ministry. He is best known as the author of Eros Defiled, The Fight, and When the Spirit Comes in Power.

"John White's wonderfully fresh and thoroughly biblical understanding of epentance replaces shallow legalism with a rich appreciation of the depths of our faith."

In this fascinating and challenging book, John White deepens our insight to the ways whereby God evokes and sustains our repentance.

—Dr. J.I. Packer

This book gives us the anatomy of real repentance. We see and repent of the “beast in the basement,” that is, the depths of pride and sin revealed in our hearts, and we are remade.”
