In many ways, the church today has more consumers than committed participants. We see church merely as an event we attend or an organization we belong to, rather than as a calling that shapes our entire life.
Many of us would be relieved if God had place dour sanctification in the hands of trained professionals, but that simply is not the biblical model. Gods plan is that through the faithful ministry of every part, the whole body will grow to maturity in Christ.
Tripp explains how his work follows an "all of my people, all of the time" model. If you followed the Lord for a thousand years, you would still need the ministry of the body of Christ as much as you did the day you first believed. This need will remain until our sanctification is complete in Glory.
This is a comprehensive treatment of how God uses people as tools of change in the lives of others, people who themselves are in need of change.

This is a book that I could re-read twelve more times and still come away feeling challenged or pushed to think about something differently. I found this book encouraging and motivating as to how to disciple, counsel, and love others in a biblical way. This book would be great for anyone who is a therapist but also for anyone who is not - as the title suggests, this book is meant for people in need of change helping people in need of change. In other words, everyone. Definitely looking forward to reading other books by Tripp!
