The Bible warns us that our thoughts have consequences. Numerous times, we're challenged to "take every thought captive." But what do we do when we're hounded by chaos and regret? Swirling thoughts that leave us confused and depleted?
In Tame Your Thoughts, author Max Lucado identifies three thought-management tools and applies them to some of today's most common problems: worry, anxiety, and other mental traps that threaten to keep us from the full life of Christ. In this battle of the mind, Lucado uses the Bible to help his readers combat toxic thoughts by:
*taking every thought captive
*renewing our minds
*testing our thoughts against Scripture
*and interrupting destructive thought patterns!
Tame Your Thoughts is Biblically rich, and Lucado does a thorough job of making it practical to today's world. He reminds his reader how important it is to take our thoughts captive and not create stories in our heads. Furthermore, he doesn't just show what we're trying to avoid, but rather creates a vision for the glorious life that awaits all of us as we mature in our thought life. This book includes questions for further reflection and would make a great resource for a small group study. While a lot of the focus is on worry, the tools outlined apply to a variety of scenarios. This is a great book for anyone wanting to mature in their thinking,
