Winning the War in Your Mind audiobook

Craig does a great job with this book. At times felt a little “self-help”, but this book drips Bible all over. Great concepts and ideas, backed by solid research. Excited about the Appendix of verses he encourages people to memorize to help fight lies. As always, Craig is clear, concise, and compelling.

Loved this book. Super practical! Highly recommend!

Outstanding!Craig, you really hit it out of the park with this one!!I love how you go into a fairly in-depth scientific explanation and then follow it up with, basically: - I have no idea what any of that meant, but here's how we can apply it to our lives. 😀Again, awesome book, brother!

It was the right book at the right time for me!I appreciated the author’s transparency, and that made his writings credible. This will be a reread book.

The devil attacks right there where we are the weakest, he tries to put thoughts of doubt in our mind or make us believe false ideas (usually sugar coated, like they would be the truth). We may create a rut of negative thoughts, but we have to change it by repeating His truth to ourselves. We can rewire our brain by praying, praising Him, declaring His Word.Amazing book and greatly written! Learned how important it is to declare God's truth over my life and renew my mind everyday. It's a daily battle, we may stumble and fall, but with God we can get back up, get stronger in faith and praise Him for who He is and what He has done for us! A must read book!

“Our lives are always moving in the direction of our strongest thoughts.”That line alone made the entire book worth reading. I’ve been thinking about the effects of what we think about and how it impacts our day to day lives.

I can’t even begin to explain how extraordinary this book is. I whole heartedly believe that if you go slow, work through the exercises, and do some true self reflection that this book could help you fundamentally change your perspective on life. I won’t lie and say that this books is a quick fix, filled with easy ideas. It’s a deep, sometimes ugly, pick yourself up by your boot straps kind of soul work. It’s not easy looking into the deepest darkest corner of your mind, but I believe it’s the kind of work that could truly set a person free.5 stars. Hands down. Would Recommend to ANYONE!

This book blew me away. I wasn’t sure what I was getting into when I started it, but it may be the best book I have ever read on changing the way you think. Craig uses scripture and some science to explain your mind and show how you can require your mind and your habits. So many great applications with sections made for you to work through your mind battles. Incredible resource. I plan to work through each section.

I absolutely love the author, this book never makes you feel bad. Makes you feel like a normal person!!

A life-changing book for anyone that would read it. Starting from simple facts, pastor Craig tells biblical and scientific truths in such a simple yet profound way.This book encourages, leads, gives strength, gives new vision on life, impacts your every day life, helps you overcome fears, addictions, anxiety, lies by placing God's truth in your mind and in your heart. This book is perfect for both believers and non-believers and would be one of the best gifts!

A very illuminating book on changing your thoughts and your habits. All of our habits are based upon thoughts we have had throughout our lives. We just cannot shut such things down, but must retrain ourselves to do so. A very interesting and interactive book that could help you change your life, if you are unhappy with it...do something different! Excellent and eye opening and will be a great assistance in changing your life around. Well worth the time to read or the audio version. A great investment!

Great insights.Great read . It's good to see books on mind with a biblical perspective and Craig does a great job in drawing parallels between science and mind.

This most likely will be in my top five book reads of this year - and right now, it's first place for the top book I've read in the last couple of years. I first attribute this to God allowing me to read this, in words I needed poured into my heart. I plan on gifting this book as well!I appreciated the author's almost step by step of how to change thought processes. He proved how even if you are old in your ways, you CAN change your ways of thinking and praying plays a big part in this. "Dr Leaf writes, 'It has been found that twelve minutes of daily focused prayer over an eight-week period can change the brain to such an extent that it can be measured on a brain scan. This type of prayer increases activity in the brain areas associated with social interaction, compassion and sensitivity to others. It also increases frontal lobe activity as focus and intentionality increase." (page 175)There was something in each and every chapter and on almost every page that hit me personally. This book would also make a great group study book.

Mr. Groeschel always delivers. His books are short enough to consume quickly and digest over time and he constantly comes up with new illustrations to bring the lessons home."Winning the War in Your Mind" finds its core message in one of my favorite passages, Romans 12:2 - "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will."Change your thinking and change your life. With God's help, you can transform your mind.1.

I listened to the audio version of this book. It is read by the Author, which I always appreciate. Craig does a good job of presenting his research in a clear easy to understand way. There is an accompanying PDF worksheet that has several exercises he references in the book. I must admit I did not do the worksheet but saved it for future reference. This book takes a scriptural look at the many bible verses that talk about how our thoughts and formulated and how they can control us both in a positive and negative manner. Backed with Neurological stats and studies partnered with scriptural evidence this book makes for practical application in life. It is a good read and will be a valuable resource to have on hand.

This is an excellent book. It provides scientific information on the function of our brain, and then spiritual aspects that go coincide with it. It’s not just a “feel good” book-but one that actually gets to the root of negativity and that downward spiral. The “ruts” we dig without even realizing it. The importance of “taking every thought captive.” Craig also provides exercises to go along with his teaching. This was extremely helpful in putting into action what God is speaking to each of us individually. It isn’t a book to quickly read-but one to take slow and truly let it soak in. Would be a great Bible study for small groups. I highly recommend this book.
