Laurie Short offers a simple but revolutionary idea: your perspective has the power to transform your life. With the help of four different lenses, Laurie shows how you can reframe whatever comes your way and embrace both the good and the bad, recognizing that every detail of your life is fully in God's sovereign hands.

Reframing your perspective can transform your life. We often face circumstances that we cannot change—a job we are forced to keep, a relationship that did not work out, a decision we cannot take back. The stress of life can overwhelm us, and we may not see past the obstacles in our path. In the face of unwanted challenges, we may despair over our lack of control and long for an easier way out. Laurie Short offers a simple but revolutionary idea: change nothing that is around you yet still change everything about your life. With the help of four different lenses, Laurie shows how the way you see can have an impact on how you live. If you put on the right lenses, you can reframe whatever comes your way and embrace both the good and the bad, recognizing that every detail of your life is fully in God's sovereign hands. Jesus indicates the power of focus when he says, "The eye is the lamp of the body, if the eye is good then the whole body will be full of light." It's the easiest way to find lasting meaning and purpose. Change nothing, but see differently. Your perspective has more power than you think to determine the course of your life.

"This isn't a book about rosy glasses, says the author. It's about reframing and refocusing what you see in life in a different way. Polich Short presents four lenses: The big view lens, which helps you see your life from a broader perspective; the present view, which helps you see what you might be missing now; the rear view, a lens that will give you insight on how you are wired; and the higher view lens, which will reveal more of what God wants you to see. . . . Recommended to serious Christian readers."
