I often receive requests for book recommendations on various subjects so I am going to periodically offer book reviews such as this one. There are many "go to" books that I recommend to others and I'll let you know about a few of them here.
Telling Yourself The Truth by William Backus & Marie Chapian
Who Would Benefit: Anyone would benefit from this book because we are all products of how we think and what we think on. Also, we can either lie to ourselves or believe the lies of others. When we allow our minds to be occupied ith lies and things that are false, it will negatively impact our life. Jesus said, You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free. The only way to experience the freedom God has for us is to saturate our minds with His truth.
Why I Like It: I lide this book becasue it's not another "power of positive thinking" book. It is scripturally sound and scripturally based. It provides practical steps to discipline our thinking which is what every growing Christian needs to do. Think of the exhortation Paul gives in Philippians 4:8 where we are to focus our minds on certain things. This book helps you to do just that.
Final Thoughts: I personally reread this book every year just to give my way of thinking a check-up. Our bad thinking patterns can develop so subtly that if we don't take the time to evaluate them, they can get quite off-line. rather quickly.
