Great book!

Priscilla is inspiring and honest. I truly enjoyed this book and have even re-read it.

Awesome, Life Changing Tranformation

I received this book as a gift from my mother. The moment I picked it up and started to read, I did not want to put it down. The flow of writing was superb. The book helped me as a servant of God look at myself as God sees me. If we are going to tell the world that Jesus saves we must be transformed. I recommend this book to everyone. It will change your life because we have to start operating in Excellence for the Kingdom.

Patricia Shirer Has A Way With Words

As a collector of books - I order many and only actually get around to reading a few. This book was laying on top of the stack I most recently ordered. So I picked it up to scan it before adding it to the bookshelf. Before I knew it, I was on Chapter 3 and realized I could not put it down. Patricia Shirer has such a wonderful flow to her writing. You instantly feel comfortable with her and enjoy the personal stories she shares because they could be about you. This book was an encouraging book that reminds us that while we are instantly born into the Kingdom of God upon acknowledging Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we do not instantly become a likeness of Christ. This is something that happens over time, through each encounter we have with Him. She compares it to the metamorphosis of a butterfly. It's a reminder that we come to know God more throughout the process we call life. This is a good book to add to your collection!

We experience deep intimacy and passionate worship. As a result, our lives will be changed. But this path to transformation is not easy. Priscilla prepares us for the obstacles that can sidetrack us and motivates us by showing us how the transformation works in a believer's life. `Jesus death means more than just your salvation and privilege to enter into eternity. It also means that the same power that raised Jesus is available to enable you to live a victorious Christian life while you are here in history!'"Priscilla Shirer, daughter of Tony Evans, holds a master's degree in biblical studies from Dallas Theological Seminary. Her work is rich with biblical examples and lessons learned though observing the lives of Ruth, Mary, Martha, Lazarus, and the nation of Israel. Priscilla also includes personal examples of her own struggles as she seeks to live in the transforming power of God. That she has succeeded and is being richly used by God is indicated in the forward written by Priscilla's mentor, Anne Graham Lotz. "I read books of this nature with a highlighter in hand. When I complete it, I type some of the most meaningful, thought-provoking, inspiring quotes and post them on my refrigerator. After reading And We are Changed, my refrigerator is full! The book provides inspiration and meat for thought to last far beyond the last page. `The Lord longs to transform each of us from the common caterpillar into the beautiful and unique butterflies that He intended for us to be.'
