"Exhausted from the whirlwind of wedding activities, we stood in front of our antiquated old house, staring at the grandeur of it. I took in the intricate carved workmanship etched in the solid wood front door, the detailed front porch with it's trims and spindled railings. The romantic gabbled windows that jutted out from tall majestic roof lines.... my husband on the other hand, saw the rot that was causing the porch about to fall away from the house, the wood shingles that had let loose, the warped door that wouldn't quite shut properly and the old windows that were cracked and single paned. This was our house that we were about to make into our home." Remodeling isn't easy. It can be painstakingly hard work. And once you start, where does it end....? In this unique Bible Study, Paulie Rogers takes the reader on a journey of self-restoration with Jesus, while sharing examples of living in a farmhouse, that is in dire need of it's own restoration, one room at a time. And when the project is finished, our joy is complete.

As Christians, we know that we are new creations in Jesus. So we try to act differently, hoping this will make us more like Him. But changing our outward behavior doesn’t change our hearts. Only by God’s grace can we be transformed internally. Renovation of the Heart lays a biblical foundation for understanding what best-selling author Dallas Willard calls the “transformation of the spirit”—a divine process that “brings every element in our being, working from inside out, into harmony with the will of God.” This fresh approach to spiritual growth explains the biblical reasons why Christians need to undergo change in six aspects of life: thought, feeling, will, body, social context, and soul. Willard also outlines a general pattern of transformation in each area, not as a sterile formula but as a practical process that you can follow without the guilt or perfectionism so many Christians wrestle with. Don’t settle for complacency. Accept the challenge Renovation of the Heart offers to become an intentional apprentice of Jesus Christ, changing daily as you walk with Him.
