 Life changing read...
I really had no idea what joy was before I read this book...or how to get some of it! In a world where we are constantly surrounded by negativity, this book gives you practical tools to apply to everyday life to combat all the world throws your way. I think happiness is a state of mind that most people are searching for, but joy, on the other hand, transcends more than a state of mind...it's a state of being that is more about what radiates inside of you than how you feel in a particular set of circumstances. Emotions can be deceptive and manipulated, but joy is a fruit of the spirit. After being in an emotionally abusive relationship for nearly 10 years, this book has helped me take those negative, self-defeating thoughts captive and replace them with positive, self-affirming thoughts and it has made all the difference. I refuse to be a victim any longer, but instead choose to be a victor. Read this book, I know it will make all the difference in the world. I'm on here today to buy another copy of the book because I gave mine away. What's frustrating is that not many bookstores carry copies of the book...thank goodness for Amazon.
A must read
This book is a must read for anyone who is wanting to make a change in their life.
A must read .... and share.
Excellent book based on practical biblical teaching plus some good human coaching. Anyone stuck in a negative rut should pick this up and read it. It's a good book to share with others too. I was intrigued by the title and bought this book with the intention of giving it to a friend who really needed help getting through some tough times. I read it prior to giving it to her to be sure it met her needs and I think it hit the nail right on the head for her. Hopefully it will help her. I got some practical pearls out of it too.
The Truth Underlying Think and Grow Rich!
A nice short read and a great book to instill new thinking habits. I really liked the practical applications, the questions to ask every day to change the way you think and to get change the negative thinking some of us have. I used some of those questions to text to my teenage daughter in the morning before she started off to school. "Who are the five people who love you the most?...beginning with your dad" What a great way to help establish great thought patterns for the rest of her life. Its a must read for anyone serious about living a joy filled life!
This is the only toolbox you will ever need.
I was diagnosed with Manic depression/bipolar disorder about 5 years ago. Prior to that it was severe Postpartum depression. I have been on and off medication for 9 years after the death of my mom. Through much prayer and seeking God I was healed of my depression and given joy abundantly, and do not take any medication whatsoever. God must know how much I love books, because only after 4 days of healing me He brought me this book. It was like God was saying "okay your healed, now here is the way to walk in it."
Tommy Newberry's down to earth and gentle approach keeps this a very readable, enjoyable and relaxing book. And, the best part was I didn't have to dig up my past and analyze all of my errors and my sins. No, this book is all about MOVING FORWARD! I rejoiced when Tommy Newberry said in the book "and, I promise you won't have to go into your past to get the answer" I paraphrased.
I have purchased this book for my family, teachers and friends. It is the gift that keeps giving. And, now all of my friends are giving it as gifts!
I am on my 10th time reading this book. And, every single time I read it, I am blessed differently by it. The 4:8 Principle has taught me how to train my mind to think the way God wants me to think. It has changed my life. God will use this book to reveal areas in your thought life that you never even knew existed. The 4:8 Principle has spread like wild-fire through my church, and people's lives are being transformed. Marriages are being transformed.
I have many, many, many books on my bookshelf. Lots of them are self-helps. This is by far the only book that has given me practical answers, and COPING SKILLS!!! And, it is not a self-help book. It is a "let God help you out book." This is not just one of those "power of positive thinking" books. This is faith in action.
Do yourself a favor. Even if you consider yourself a pretty positive person. BUY THE BOOK. You will be surprised and delighted and more blessed than you already think you are. If you are someone like me, who was constantly nursing negative, even destructive thoughts, then RUN to get the book. You won't be sorry!
I love it. And, my life is completely changed.
