It explains a life changing method that can work for you in your home, circumstances, problems, adverse environment. It is based upon the Bible, ot psychological inventions or psychiatric speculations. It has helped 100's of people for many years and it can help you. It can help you locate your own misbeliefs, remove misbeliefs, and replace them with the truth.
This book was a real eye-opener to me. I was shocked to see how for many years wrong patterns of thinking had brought me unneeded heartache, grief and unhappiness. It was very helpful in guiding me in the right direction and it felt like a load had lifted in areas of my life where there had been confusion and turmoil.

I read this book many years ago when going thru a very difficult time and I found it extremely helpful. All our actions and beliefs begins with our thoughts. No wonder scripture tells us to bring every thought captive under Christ! But we can develop wrong negative thoughts gradually until one day they become truth to us and cause real harm in our lives and we don't even realize it!
This makes you really take a loo k at negative self talk and most importantly it gives biblical instruction on how to stop it. A very helpful book!

You know how you read a book sometimes and want EVERYONE else to read it too? Well, this is one of those! We can change our thinking, thus our lives, by telling OURSELVES the truth and by stopping the untrue self-talk! Too often we say "Oh, I'm so stupid. Or, I'll never....whatever Or I always....." Read the book and you'll start rethinking and it truly does make a difference!
