This book really opened my eyes. I never thought much about how my thoughts were all over the place and how much that was affecting my mood and my life. It helped me understand how important it is to give those thoughts to God and let Him lead the way. The way it was written made it easy for me to follow, and I didn’t feel lost or confused like I do with some books.
It also showed me that I don’t have to stay stuck in my old ways of thinking. I can choose a better way—with God in charge. I feel more peace now, and I try to stop and check my thoughts when they get too heavy. This book helped me take a step back and start changing the way I think, and I’m really thankful for that. If you're struggling with your mind being a mess like I was, I think this book could help you too.

Refreshingly Vulnerable
I loved Anne’s willingness to be unabashedly vulnerable in this book: She writes unapologetically about everything from jealousy in her marriage, to fears around cancer, to bouts of depression and insecurity with frankness and gentleness. Although this is a faith-based book, as someone who is decidedly not devout I didn’t find the language to be preachy or paternalistic. The lessons Anne writes of are found in every tradition of religion and “self-help,” albeit couched in slightly different verbiage. All in all, a quick, refreshing read when you just need a bout of positivity and a reminder of how much power we each have within ourselves to heal.

The analogy of different trains to describe different ways of dealing with emotions (eg worry, overwhelm and grief) was a really interesting concept. You can get on and off a train and you can also stop and start ways of thinking to allow more of what God wants and less of what is so often just wasted time. Jesus is at the centre of this book. Add plenty of personal stories and scriptures as well as practical strategies and you have a great read! Highly recommended to help bring order into what can so often be chaos in our trains of thought.

Love it!!!!
Reading Anne Utterback‘s book, ReTrain You Brian, it like sitting down with a good friend. She has an ease about sharing many of her life‘s experiences and how she connects to God through them. Anne walks the journeys in her life bringing her heart and soul to the page. I truly appreciated the frank honesty about how her brain was managing, or not, to handle all the different ways she was attempting to process the many trains in her brain. With turning it over to God, she quieted the howler monkeys, came to grips with being a wet sock, recognize the abyss to just get real with herself. She is honest about the time it takes to retrain your brain and that it is a work in progress. I learned that it is OK to be a mess. Living in God‘s word, we don’t have to stew in the muck and mire, but we can hold an honest mirror up to ourselves and reach a place of balance and find the right train.
