Groundwork: Preparing the Soil for Godâ s Transformation

In the Parable of the Seed, Jesus speaks about how lives are transformed when the seeds of God’s Word are planted in fertile soil. But what kind of groundwork best prepares the soil—the soul—of someone’s life? And how does true, transformative, lasting change really happen?

Authors Scott Larson and Daniel Tocchini ask, and answer, these questions about transformation in Groundwork: Preparing the Soil for God’s Transformation. Applying a combination of personal storytelling, research, and methods garnered from years of practice, the authors equip church leaders, counselors, and ministry professionals with tools to help people experience God’s transformation.

These methods for promoting active change in the lives of others have been successfully utilized in business leadership trainings for years, but are now being instructed through the lens of the Bible and Christian practice.
