Life Transformation Bible Readings
When you become a follower of Jesus you begin a journey of complete transformation from the inside out: a new life, as a new creation in Him. Transformation does not happen by simply deciding to do or not do something, because our past life without Jesus is firmly planted in our mind. We are transformed by allowing God to change the way we think. The Life Transformation Discipleship Plan is designed for just that: changing the way you think - transformation.
