Are your thoughts out of control--just like your life? Do you long to break free from the spiral of destructive thinking? Let God's truth become your battle plan to win the war in your mind!
We've all tried to think our way out of bad habits and unhealthy thought patterns, only to find ourselves stuck with an out-of-control mind and off-track daily life. Pastor and New York Times bestselling author Craig Groeschel understands deeply this daily battle against self-doubt and negative thinking, and in this powerful new book he reveals the strategies he's discovered to change your mind and your life for the long-term.
Drawing upon Scripture and the latest findings of brain science, Groeschel lays out practical strategies that will free you from the grip of harmful, destructive thinking and enable you to live the life of joy and peace that God intends you to live. Winning the War in Your Mind will help you:
- Learn how your brain works and see how to rewire it
- Identify the lies your enemy wants you to believe
- Recognize and short-circuit your mental triggers for destructive thinking
- See how prayer and praise will transform your mind
- Develop practices that allow God's thoughts to become your thoughts
God has something better for your life than your old ways of thinking. It's time to change your mind so God can change your life.

From the Publisher


Our lives are always moving in the direction of our strongest thoughts. What we think shapes who we are.
So you might read that and think I’m being an overly dramatic preacher using hyperbole to get your attention. But this is no exaggeration. Our lives do follow the direction of our thoughts. The better we grasp that truth, the better equipped we’ll be to change the trajectory of our lives.
But don’t take my word for it. Both the Bible and modern science provide evidence that this is true. So throughout this book, we’ll unpack both Scripture and what we’ve learned from scientific research.
Let’s circle back to our opening statement: Our lives are always moving in the direction of our strongest thoughts. What we think will shape who we become.
If you agree with that proposition—and remember, both the Bible and modern science say it’s true—then it’s time to change your thinking so God can change your life.
—Craig Groeschel

5.0 out of 5 stars Lindo! (E a capa não é descolada!)
Eu li alguns comentários negativos a cerca da capa, só que foi meio hilário, porque é normal livros serem assim, e isso não quer dizer que capa está descolada, é apenas uma edição capa dura lisa com escrito apenas nas laterais.
Particularmente tem um certo charme.
Gente, esse livro não é descolado tá!?
Achei linda a edição, fiz um plano devocional no youversion que era baseado nesse livro, então sei que deve ser ótimo e vai me ajudar muito a praticar meu inglês!

5.0 out of 5 stars Challenging!!!
This book will change the way you think about your life. It will also help you to understand the way our brain works so that you can be better equipped to get a new perspective on why we think the way we do. I heartily recommend it. I went through it with a small group of people which resulted in us being open about our struggles and encouraging each other to face up to and change unhelpful ways of thinking and to establish new patterns of helpful thoughts.
