Once an adversary of Jesus' followers, he became the great defender and teacher of the believers he previously persecuted. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Transition--a word that has become a popular buzzword in our day--has been greatly misunderstood,\" according to Tavares Robinson. \"Some equate transition with change, but the two words do not have the same meaning.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobinson details the process of the believer's transition as a necessary step for growth. He recalls a statement from a neighbor who is a pilot: \"For us as pilots, it's all about the journey, but for passengers, it's all about the destination.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBelievers are often impatient and desire results immediately. In fact, \"Our hurry to reach our destination can apply to our relationship with God. . . . but he is a God of patience who takes delight that we learn from each step of the journey,\" Robinson asserts. He explains four steps to becoming transformed by God's work in our lives: \u003cbr\u003e - Detachment--A moment of leaving everything behind. Think of Jesus' disciples, who had to respond to him when he said, \"Follow me. I will make you fishers of men\" (Matt. 4:19).\u003cbr\u003e - Disidentification--A process of losing our image and our identity. Think of Naomi, who lost everything.\u003cbr\u003e - Disappointment--A wake-up call to who we really are. Think of Nicodemus, who realized that he is not the person esteemed by his peers.\u003cbr\u003e - Disconcertment--A time when we feel lost, alone, and unheard. Think of Job: \"Behold, I go forward but He is not there, And backward, but I cannot perceive Him; When He acts on the left, I cannot behold Him; He turns on the right, I cannot see Him\" (Job 23:8-9).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat do these four steps lead to? Transformation. But when? The triumphant end of Transition: Reforming the Heart for Growth explains God's promise to those who persevere. May one of those overcomers be you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.35 x 8.5 x 5.51 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 05, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51778961211680,"sku":"9781732513440","price":16.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/41a5c8f05e66d07f689f0c3590e63b47.webp?v=1780509636","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-process-of-transition-reforming-the-heart-for-growth-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
