Based on principles from the book, Paul David Tripp and Timothy S. Lane now offer the How People Change Study Guide for use in church-wide training, small group, Sunday school, youth group, or one-on-one discipleship settings. These materials help participants to understand the underlying motivations for their actions and give them specific, practical help in changing long-standing patterns of behavior, so they grow in love for God and others.
Each of the twelve lessons includes teaching, homework discussion, relational application, illustrations, group discussion guide, and "Make It Real" life applications. A self-explanatory facilitator's guide provides twelve lessons, directions on how to guide a small group through the study guide, extra content, homework discussion, detailed illustrations, and "Make It Real" life applications.
