What does God think about attitudes? This study uses examples from the Israelites’ journey out of Egypt to how attitudes can affect whether someone stays in the wilderness or enjoys the blessings of the Promised Land. There is hope for the attitudinally challenged. 

Negative attitudes scar our hearts, enslave our spirits, and keep us from experiencing abundant life in Christ. These attitudes are pervasive in the Christian church today and, according to James MacDonald, they thrust children of God into a dry, spiritual wilderness. In his new book, Lord, Change My Attitude … Before It’s Too Late, MacDonald walks readers through how to “put off” five common negative attitudes and “put on” five positive attitudes in their place. Practical instruction will boldly challenge readers to let God transform their attitudes before it’s too late.

In this study, James MacDonald shows how you can lead others (and even yourself) out of attitudes God hates and into those He honors, from:

  • complaining to thankfulness
  • coveting to contentment
  • critical to love
  • doubting to full of faith
  • rebellion to submission
