About the Book
The companion book to the study: In Tame Your Thoughts: Three Tools to Renew Your Mind and Transform Your Life, Max Lucado provides three biblical and practical tools to renew your mind and transform your life. The book builds on many of the themes in the study and is a helpful companion resource.
Stuck in your head? Hounded by regrets? Weighed down by worry? Change is possible! The thoughts that have characterized your past need not characterize the rest of your life. Readers will learn to:
∙take thoughts captive,
∙test each message against the truth of Scripture,
∙interrupt poisonous thought threads,
∙and think and act like Jesus.
If God can resurrect the dead, can he not resurrect hope? Defy depression? Clarify confusion? Silence shame? Destroy doubt? Banish bitterness?
Take God at his word. "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind" (2 Tim. 1:7 nkjv, emphasis added). With God as your helper, you'll discover a new way of thinking and a better way of living. A new person will begin to emerge.
We can tame each thought!
Break free from negative thought patterns—with God's help and Max as your guide!
Thoughts bray when we wake and won’t stop until we sleep. They narrate our deeds—sometimes happy, other times grumpy. Some are constructive, others intrusive. They judge our choices, replay failures, fear the future, and sour the present.
And we are their sum. Positive thoughts drive positive actions. Negative ones trigger negative behavior. Behind every angry outburst is an angry belief. Behind every kind act is a kind notion.
Thoughts have consequences. So, can we manage life by managing thoughts?
Paul thought so: "to be made new in the attitude of your minds" (Eph. 4:23). Helpful thoughts change lives.
• Gloomy days? You can change that.
• Always anxious? Peace is possible.
• Inner critics? You can defang them.
Tame your thoughts—and a new "you" will appear.
Join me for Tame Your Thoughts, a six-session Bible study to help change thoughts and transform life. We’ll explore three biblical tools to manage thoughts and apply them to anxiety, guilt, and rejection.
No matter your background, progress is possible.
With God’s help, you can tame your thoughts, break free from negativity, and grow to be more like Jesus!
