WHAT caught my attention about this book? I was wanting to do a study on the mind/our thoughts so the title caught my attention. I was already familiar with the author as he went to Bible college with my husband in the late 80’s.
WHAT other books did it remind me of? “Rewired: Recognizing and Retraining Wrong Thinking ” by R.B. Ouellette
WHAT did I learn? SO much!! I rarely read an entire book through because I will get started and the Holy Spirit starts showing me things and then I write a Bible study lesson on it. This book though, I COULD NOT put down! It just kept going and going! I did write a Bible study lesson from it and you can read it here. I believe that you will gain a lot from it. So be sure to check it out.
WHAT did I like most about this book? It was very down to earth and very easy to understand and to apply personally. His style of writing resonates with me in a very positive way. I glean much from him.
WAS it easy to read? It was a VERY easy read! The long part about it was the personal application because it is chocked full of golden nuggets to apply.
WHY would I recommend this book? See the PROS section below. This is really the first book of his that I have read, but I have followed along on FB and any devotional thoughts that he has posted have always been an eye catcher and a heart grabber.
