Synopsis

Reframing your perspective can transform your life. We often face circumstances that we cannot change?a job we are forced to keep, a relationship that did not work out, a decision we cannot take back. The stress of life can overwhelm us, and we may not see past the obstacles in our path. In the face of unwanted challenges, we may despair over our lack of control and long for an easier way out. Laurie Short offers a simple but revolutionary idea: change nothing that is around you yet still change everything about your life. With the help of four different lenses, Laurie shows how the way you see can have an impact on how you live. If you put on the right lenses, you can reframe whatever comes your way and embrace both the good and the bad, recognizing that every detail of your life is fully in God's sovereign hands. Jesus indicates the power of focus when he says, "The eye is the lamp of the body, if the eye is good then the whole body will be full of light." It's the easiest way to find lasting meaning and purpose. Change nothing, but see differently. Your perspective has more power than you think to determine the course of your life.

Goodreads review by Paula

I love the implications of this title. Instead of changing our behaviour and circumstances with the advice of yet another self help book, we could simply try tweaking our attitudes and the way we view our lives. It may take a pivotal turn, but could be well worth it in the long run. I like the author......more

Goodreads review by Ginae

To accentuate book theme, Short uses lenses, rather than chapters for book division. She goes further into lenses by suggesting that there are four lenses through which we may view various life events and time periods which proffers great/er insight. The wisdom and insight is solid. We urge you to s......more

Goodreads review by Wendy

This is such an encouraging book to read, especially for those that are struggling with their outlook on their lives. Sometimes we get stuck in our past. Sometimes we long for the future so much that we forget to live in the present. Laurie does a wonderful job at explaining the importance of these......more

Goodreads review by Carter Hemphill

A book ideal for these COVID days. The author provides encouragement for the reader in embracing the big picture, one's past, and the present. While it may verge on superficial, the author provides effective illustrations and grounds the book with biblical examples. The first half of the book really......more
