Winning the War in Your Mind

by Craig Groeschel

A pastor's book on thought patterns: identify the lies, replace them with truth, rewire through repetition, and pray and praise rather than ruminate. It combines cognitive-behavioural ideas with scripture, and it is clear about the practice of writing and repeating 'declarations'.

CLICK TO SEE

Read it if…

you want a faith-based approach to negative thinking with a concrete practice.

Skip it if…

you want secular psychology; see Feeling Good.

Three things you will actually use

  1. Your life follows the direction of your thoughts.
  2. Neural pathways are rewired by repetition.
  3. Replace, do not just remove.

Do this first

Write the lie you believe most often, and the truth that answers it, on a card you carry.

Our verdict

Faith-based CBT, in effect.
