If you’ve grown accustomed to bad habits, written off lifelong battles as unwinnable, or believed that some destructive behaviors can never be changed, I get it.
I’ve been there.
Three weeks after Jesus saved me, I found myself with a clear glass pipe of crystal meth in my hand.
I took a hit, and in a moment, the drug’s rush was followed by crushing condemnation.
I know what it’s like to feel like a spiritual impostor. The truth is, we’re all in recovery, but we like to pretend we’ve got it all buttoned up.
Jesus has saved you, but there’s still a lot of transformation that God wants to do. You can change, but you can’t do it in your own power.
When I embraced God’s transforming power, He won the war over cocaine, whiskey, and my deadly choices.
He wants to do the same for you no matter what you battle!

"The 7 Resolutions is written by a man who has been changed by the power of almighty God. It flows from the heart of a man who longs to see disciple-makers raised up and multiplying. You can feel Karl’s passion and his hunger for kingdom advancement on page after page. It’s one of those books you can’t put down and wish you had read decades sooner! If you thirst for first-century, New Testament, book of Acts Christianity, read the book. You won’t regret it!"
Pastor, founder of Men’s Fraternity and BetterMan
"From time to time a book comes along that offers more than a good story line or helpful insights. It feels anointed. That’s my sense of Karl Clauson’s The 7 Resolutions. It carries prophetic calls we desperately need today to counter the ever-darkening culture now challenging us. Its truth powerfully penetrates the “soft” Christianity and self-effort so many believers are mired in. It’s so on-target for our day. I cannot recommend it strongly enough... not just to read, but vital truth to gather around with others and master. It’s that needed!"
Senior Pastor, Woodside Bible Church; host, Equipped with Chris Brooks
"Karl Clauson is driven by a bold and unshakable faith that you can be free! His confidence in God’s power to radically heal you from addiction, pain, and brokenness is not theoretical; it comes from his own personal healing journey and encounter with God’s liberating grace. The 7 Resolutions is a clarion call to anyone who is ready to join God and kill sin! In Christ... freedom starts today!"
President, Moody Bible Institute
"Karl Clauson has spent decades helping people as a pastor and radio personality live out their new spiritual life and calling. The message of The 7 Resolutions comes from Karl’s study of the Word and thousands of conversations with struggling people. I strongly recommend this book to anyone living in the frustrating gap between where you know you should be spiritually and where you currently are at."
Author of Fractured Faith; founder, Living with Power Ministries
"In his wonderfully practical book, Karl offers deep insight and biblical wisdom for lasting change. If you’re looking for tools to defeat the lies in your mind and overcome negative patterns of thinking, run and get this book."
Author, speaker, radio host; founder and President of Beyond Our Generation
"I love this book! Thank you, Karl, for so clearly underscoring the reality that Jesus is in the business of transforming our lives. We can indeed win our biggest battles. But we are not passive bystanders in our victories. The 7 Resolutions points to the reality of our part in receiving and experiencing God’s promises for our lives: decision and resolve. You will find, however, that these resolutions are not anchored in “bootstrapping” self-determination, leading to failure and frustration. No, they are expressions of our reliance on the power of the Holy Spirit to produce change and transformation. Thank you, my brother, for this treasured gift!"
Host / Executive Producer, In the Market with Janet Parshall
"Every one of us has heard the voice of the accuser . . . “you can’t,” “you won’t,” “you aren’t...” As broken people, it’s easy to fall prey to his insidious lies about our own failings and to descend into a pit of darkness that surrounds our soul. You can try to claw your way out on your own or you can grab the lifeline of God’s strength and His promises. This book is about pulling you out of that darkness—of remembering who God is and what He says about YOU. You can try to fix the issues you are facing on your own, or you can grab on to the One whose power and love can rescue you from any pit. The choice is yours, but this book will help you make the better choice. Read it—and resolve to let God take control."

"The 7 Resolutions resource that you are holding in your hands delivers straight talk from a genuine and authentic man: Karl Clauson. His vulnerable style of writing puts you in the room with him whether you listen to him on radio, sit under his teaching at conferences or church, or walk with him as a friend as I have the honor of doing. This isn’t self-help. This is all about joining God and experiencing the real deal of His wisdom, love and grace. Read it. Digest it. Share it. Open your heart to God’s truth and promises and put on your seatbelt for the ride of The 7 Resolutions."
Lead singer and songwriter, Citizen Way
"The Bible says in John 14:26, “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.” Karl addresses how that truth can lead his readers to real healing and growth instead of the world’s counterfeit. It’s refreshing to hear the truth."
