Synopsis

As Christians we want to be like Jesus Christ. In this day of celebrity we want to be like our heroes, yet when we try to change our personality, we fail and become frustrated. This is often because we are trying to change the wrong thing. Our personality is God given and cannot be changed, so stop trying. Our character is our choice. We learn our beliefs, our values and attitudes as we develop. As adults we can choose to reject negative characteristics that we have learnt and instead choose the character of Christ. God through His Holy Spirit helps us change our character into a Christ-like character. The most important characteristic that we can develop is love, just as Christ said, “A new command I give you: love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” This book will show you how to embrace your God given personality and how to choose Christ’s character as your walk with Him.

À propos de l'auteur

Colin became a Christian in his late teens and over the last 40 years has served the Church in many roles, including Worship Leader, Treasurer and Trustee, as well as a Church and Pastoral Team Leader as part of the eldership team in his local Church. He is a director of “insightsfor.org”, which provides high quality leadership and personal development resources to churches, Christian organisations, charities and individuals. His first career was for 25 years, initially in Nursing, then in general management. He then became a freelance Management Consultant, mentor and personal coach. He has worked with individuals and teams in a variety of settings, in I.T. Sales, Charities and Churches, assisting with conflict resolution, personal coaching and personal and team development. He is a Birkman Master Certified Professional and has worked with Birkman International Inc. since 2004. He has a pastor’s heart that longs to encourage and nurture, and he delights in the growth of others. As Colin himself says, “the most significant learning for me has been the understanding that God made each of us unique and different. These differences, that often drive us apart, are the same differences that complement us, if we only knew it.” He is the author of the unique 8-week “Authentic Community” workbooks, which gives insight into the uniqueness of each individual’s Personality and enables the development of real, transparent and open relationships within church small groups. Colin and his wife Mandie live in Devon, UK, from where they keep in close touch with their 4 children and 2 grandchildren.
