Paul declares ...be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed [how?] by the renewing of your mind... (Romans 12:2) This is our Biblical injunction from the Lord. The question How do we do it? What is the practical application of taking every thought captive, renewing our minds and putting on the Mind of Christ?In this sequel to The Way of Agape, Nancy shares that, without a renewed mind, our lives will remain the same as theyve always been, no matter what we do or try. No matter how many Bible studies we attend, no matter how many Scriptures we know or how much we pray, without a mind change, our lives will still have the same problems, the same failures and the same defeats as they always have. The battle is truly waged in our minds!----------------------------------------------------------------------Be Ye Transformed is a must-read for anyone who wants to see a positive change in their Christian walk. It not only teaches us how to take every thought captive, renew our minds and put on the Mind of Christ, it also contains an expansion of Nancys original model of the human personality (i.e., the hidden chambers), which she meticulously crafted from the Scriptural pattern of Solomons Temple. Practical, field-tested examples from years of ministry makes Be Ye Transformed a classic Christian work.William P. Welty, M.

Bra bok på helligjørelse og hvordan tillate Jesus mer plass i livet sitt. Tar for seg mye av de litt mer abstrakte temaene i bibelen rundt helligjørelse, som blandt annet forskjellen på ånd, sjel, hjerte, legeme osv. Den bruker blandt annet salomos tempel til å konkretisere disse begrepene, og til å forklare den daglige renselses og helligjørelse prossesen. Boken blir nesten en liten håndbok på Efeserne 4,15: "Sannheten tro i kjærlighet, skal vi på alle måter vokse opp til ham som er hodet, Kristus."
Et problem jeg har med boken er at jeg kunne ønske det var litt hyppigere bruk av bibelreferanser. Det meste blir grunnlagt i bibelen, men kunne ønske det var litt oftere.
This timeless and practical book should be one of the most read Christian books of all time. In the age of pornography, violence in tv, the images we see daily in Facebook and YouTube...we need a book like this that will help and guide us in renewing our minds. The junk throughout a person's life collects in the hidden chambers of our hearts. Similar to the hidden chambers of the temple. Since we are the temple of the Holy Spirit, we need to clean out these chambers and put the Holy things back in. This powerful book will teach you how to do that. Full of useful wise material, should be taught in every bible study.
Originally I gave this title 5 stars. I am revising my stars to zero.
The reason I am doing so is that since reading this title, several things about my faith journey and expression have changed and I no longer subscribe to evangelical ideologies.
Second paragraph is the beginning of my first review...
I have come back to it and discovered that it simply gets beter and better as I read through it. I used it as part of my daily 'devo' reading 5-6 pages each day for two months - WOW!! The initail line of my first 'attempt' is a gross understatment! I will drop it now for two months and then read it again - and again after a two month gap. This is one of the ways I study, and in this case will mean I will have read it threee times this year (2023) It appears to be out of print, so start scourering......
This is a good book for tranforming your life. It is heavy going and quite deep. No claim yet to being perfect, but would have been more relevent years ago. I did actually get only 1/3 through, but will keep it handy for when a 'serious' believ
The book not only is a practical manual to teach Christians how to transform their mind and make faith choices, but also presents a good study on the Temple of God. The book also helps me have a better understanding of many NT verses.
