The way we think determines the way we act. Thoughts become actions and actions become habits, so gaining control of our thoughts is the critical first step in making positive life changes. The Apostle Paul knew this when he urged us to bring all of our thoughts into captivity and to abandon the practice of conforming the way we think to the low level of the world around us. Instead, we should be transformed by the renewing of our minds! In ReThink Your Life , best-selling author and leadership mentor Stan Toler outlines the practical steps anyone can take to discover purpose and to improve their focus, decision-making, and quality of life by renewing the mind. This helpful book will lead readers to genuine life change through the most basic Christian discipline--renewing the mind.
Stan Toler is senior pastor of Trinity Church of the Nazarene in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and hosts the television program, "Leadership Today." He conducts seminars throughout the U.S. as the Model Church Instructor for INJOY Ministries, a leadership development institute for pastors. He has written over 30 books and is co-author of The Year Round Church Event Book.
The book contains a lot of useful tips for renewing one's mind. I would have preferred a deeper dive, but the book will serve as a good book for a church discussion group.
Many good practical ideas to help you grow spiritually. We must live intentionally, detoxing our lives and making good choices, or we will get carried about by the currents of the world.
The main thought of the book is derived from applying the spiritual principle of fasting to our media-saturated culture...a good idea that I will try to start doing annually.
