Changed by Bradley Hobbs

MEET THE AUTHOR

Bradley Hobbs

My greatest desire is not that people remember my name, but that they come to know Jesus Christ more deeply through every page I write.

"My greatest desire is not that people remember my name. My prayer is that they leave knowing Jesus Christ more deeply."

Bradley Hobbs is a Christian author whose greatest desire is to encourage people to know Jesus Christ personally and to experience the transforming power of His grace. Through writing, teaching, and the study of God's Word, he seeks to point readers beyond religion and toward a genuine relationship with the Savior.

For many years, Bradley has served others through education, ministry, and discipleship. His passion for Scripture and his heart for people are reflected throughout his writing, where biblical truth is presented with honesty, compassion, and a sincere desire to see lives transformed by Jesus Christ.

Like every believer, his journey has included seasons of joy and growth, as well as seasons of misunderstanding, loneliness, and learning to trust God's purpose through life's challenges. Those experiences have strengthened his conviction that our identity is never found in the opinions of others but in Jesus Christ.

Our identity is never found in the opinions of others.

It is found in Jesus Christ.

That conviction became the foundation for Changed, a book that invites readers to examine their hearts and discover what it truly means to be transformed by the gospel.

When he is not writing, Bradley enjoys studying Scripture, developing Christ centered resources, and encouraging others to grow in their walk with the Lord. His desire is that every project he creates will faithfully reflect God's truth and encourage believers to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ.

Bradley serves as a Early Head Start, Lead, where he enjoys investing in the lives of young children each day. Beyond the classroom, he treasures being the father of his twelve year old son and is grateful to share life with his forever love and partner, Justin. Family is one of God's greatest blessings in his life.

Like every believer, Bradley is still human and experiences seasons of hurt, disappointment, and hardship. Through writing, prayer, and the study of God's Word, he has found that healing comes as he places the past into the hands of the Lord. What has already passed cannot be controlled, but by God's grace it no longer has to define the future. As Scripture reminds us, "forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before" (Philippians 3:13).

Bradley is thankful to have received the gift of the Holy Ghost and to have been baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. After his heart was pricked by the preaching of the apostles, as recorded in Acts 2, he embraced the gospel call to repentance and the promise of God's Spirit. He rejoices in being filled with the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance (Acts 2:37 — 38; Acts 2:4 ), and he gives all glory to Jesus Christ for His saving grace and transforming power.

Why I Write

Writing has never been about publishing books or building a name for myself. Long before there was a manuscript, there was prayer. Long before there were chapters, there was Scripture. God began shaping my heart long before He ever placed a message in my hands.

Every book I write is born out of the same desire: to encourage people to know Jesus Christ more deeply, trust Him more completely, and faithfully follow Him each day. If my words simply inform the mind without drawing the heart closer to the Lord, then they have failed to accomplish their greatest purpose.

MY PRAYER

More Than A Book

I do not hope readers finish this book impressed by the writing.

I hope they finish loving Jesus Christ more deeply.

I do not hope they remember the author's name.

I hope they remember the Savior.

Whether someone has followed Christ for many years, has recently begun walking with Him, or is still searching for answers, my prayer remains the same.

May every reader leave these pages loving Jesus more deeply.

Trusting Him more completely. Living each day as a reflection of His grace and truth.

A NEW CREATION

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

2 Corinthians 5:17
