NOW A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

When was the last time you awakened to a swirl of anxious, out-of-control thoughts? Perhaps you were overwhelmed with the weight of worry, the fear of failing, or the grip of guilt. The way we think directly impacts our joy and peace. In Tame Your Thoughts, Max Lucado provides three biblical and practical tools to renew your mind and transform your life.

Our thoughts have consequences. Most people would agree that positive thoughts generate positive actions. Negative thoughts activate negative behavior. But do we understand that we can manage our lives by managing our thoughts? Not only does neuroscience back this concept, but the idea is also embedded throughout Scripture. “Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind” (Rom.12:2 esv). Tame your thoughts and transform your life!

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. You will learn to:

Take thoughts captive
Test each message against the truth of Scripture
Interrupt poisonous thought threads
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 their helper, you will discover a new way of thinking and a better way of living. A new person will begin to emerge.

We can tame each thought, friends.
