Do your thoughts and your life feel out of your control? Have you found yourself in a spiral of unhealthy thinking? Let God's truth become your battle plan to win the war in your mind!

As teens, it can feel difficult to find a way out of our bad habits and unhealthy thought patterns, too often feeling like our thoughts are running out of control and finding ourselves off-track from where we want to be. Pastor and New York Times bestselling author Craig Groeschel deeply understands this daily battle against self-doubt and negative thinking, and in this book adapted from his bestselling Winning the War in Your Mind, Groeschel explains how you too can challenge your thinking and change the course of your life for the better, revealing the strategies he’s found that help.

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. With all-new stories, science that explores the unique realities of how the teenage brain is wired, and visually-engaging callouts and short sections that appeal to teenage readers, Winning the War in Your Mind for Teens will help you:

• Learn how your brain works and see how to rewire it
• Identify the lies the enemy wants you to believe
• Recognize and short-circuit your mental triggers for negative 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. It's time to change your mind so God can change your life.

My thoughts:  WINNING THE WAR IN YOU MIND FOR TEENS.... is a self-guided book that actually can be used as a group study, especially if you are blessed with teens that like to discuss things.  There are interesting and engaging topics, stories about the author's teen years (which was about two decades before mine, yeah, he relates.... but somethings never change.  He explains how the brain works and how to rewire it to believe God's truth instead of the negative lies that the enemy wants you to believe.  Filled with interesting stories and the cold hard truth, this book also offers questions for you to think about, challenge you, and guide you. There are also plenty of space to write your answers.  Recommended fo individual teen readers, group studies for youth groups, or even small group studies.  Maybe use in a Christian school or Christian teen hangout for small groups.  Recommended.  I was given a copy free and all opinions are my own.
