Hope for Genuine Change

Anyone who is married is already a self-centered spouse . . . but when this all-too-common sin becomes severe and chronic, it results in a marital environment of abuse or neglectâ€”leaving the victimized spouse feeling trapped and hopeless. But how might this hopelessness change if we knew that Jesus addressed just such chronically broken relationships?

Brad Hambrick examines Jesusâ€™ teachings about relationships to show us how we can turn the other cheek while keeping away from unhealthy and destructive paths. He identifies different types of self-centered spouses to show us what we are dealing with, shares strategies for interacting with them, and points to evidences of genuine change to bring hope to anyone living with a chronically self-centered spouse.

The Gospel for Real Life booklet series by the Association of Biblical Counselors (ABC) applies the timeless hope of Christ to the unique struggles of modern believers.

â€œThe gospel isnâ€™t just an ethereal idea. Itâ€™s not a philosophy and itâ€™s not static. It moves and shapes and transforms. I am grateful for ABCâ€™s work of letting the gospel bear its weight on these real life sorrows and pains.â€
â€”MATT CHANDLER, Lead Pastor, The Village Church, Flower Mound, Texas
