Break the Cycles That Hurt Your Relationships and Hold You Back
Through biblical examples and illustrations from their own redemptive
story, Justin and Trisha Davis help readers identify unhealthy
relational patterns that keep them from experiencing the joy and
freedom God has for them.
Relationships can feel like a constant struggle. How can we recognize
and overcome behaviors that leave us wounded, broken, and exhausted?
One Choice Away from Change helps us identify dysfunctional life
patterns that cause us to repeat the same mistakes in relationships,
fall into the same bad habits at work, or argue about the same things
with those we love. Drawing on their own story of healing, Justin and
Trisha Davis offer practical encouragement for:
• Understanding the choices we make that can sabotage us
• Not letting the past dictate the present
• Leaving behind our go-to sins and dysfunctions
• Moving forward in the hope of who God calls us to be
You aren’t as stuck as you think you are. In fact, you are just one
decision away from breaking the cycles that keep you living in fear and
shame. Experience the power of God’s grace … one choice at a time.

Kick-start your motivation using gratitude, employ compassion to build your network, and take pride to maximise success.
Using cutting-edge research, world-leading psychologist David DeSteno shows you how positive emotions are far more powerful than willpower and self-denial in achieving your goals. Willpower is quickly depleted, but our prosocial emotions become stronger the more we use them. Even better, they’re contagious.

· Students who feel proud of their work will work 40% harder and longer than others
