"Dallas Willard used to say that eternity is already in session. Laurie Short has written an elegant invitation to live life from inside eternity rather than on the outside."

"The true stories Laurie uses throughout this book make its message impossible to ignore. If you need your world rocked by new eyes for your current circumstances, then you need this book."

"The flourishing of our lives depends so much not only on what, but how we see. In When Changing Nothing Changes Everything, Laurie Short has offered us a concise, accessible guidebook that provides not only helpful instruction but—more importantly—hope for how a proper vision of the life we have can lead to the very world of goodness and beauty for which we long so deeply. Read this book—and see your life change before your very eyes."

"Abraham Herschel said that 'we must learn to be surprised.' Sometimes we grow so numb to how things are that we miss how things were meant to be. We lose the surprise. We lose the mystery. Laurie Short captures this idea through story beautifully and calls us to find ourselves surprised again, helping us to change everything by reframing the world we see."

"I used to think changing perspective was a cop-out for not changing, but what Laurie is proposing—reframing the drama of your life—is actually the way to live fully in God's reality, which is something far bigger than our seasonal drama. I've seen how that really does change everything!"

"Laurie Short has written a powerful and empowering book. She's proven why perspective matters, but even deeper, she's shown us we have control over the aperture of our lives. And who doesn't need a new lens on life?"

"What matters most to me about Laurie Short's book is that it seeks to be honest and faithful both to the Bible and to the experience of being human. This is the converging power and insight Short offers us, and it's why we need to hear her."

"Laurie Short offers gracious and helpful insights that challenge us to greater self-awareness and deeper discipleship by suggesting we view our circumstances through alternate lenses. By reminding us about the power of our perspective, she holds out words of hope and help for the moments when life throws too much pain or challenge in our path. This is a great book for anyone who struggles to meet life's challenges—which is all of us!"

"When Changing Nothing Changes Everything speaks to the power of our own stories, and specifically to the way in which we remember, tell, and live them out. Laurie's call—to be a part of the bigger story—is a reminder of what's so vital and important in life."
