The premise of
Hahn’s book is that thoughts influence actions. Our thoughts shape
who we are. If our thoughts are focused on anxiety and temptations,
we don’t leave room for Jesus. What the book suggests is that we
can order our thought to live a more godly life, a life of peace and
happiness rather than anxiety and fear.
The book makes
important points for not only our individual lives but for how our
communities can be better places to live. One of the most important
chapters for me was Chapter 10, Replacement Therapy. Hahn makes the
point that God wants us to be filled with love and peace. Too often
we are encouraged to remove things from our lives, sin and wicked
ways. Hahn makes the point that it’s important to fill our live and
learn how to make our thoughts close to the mind Christ. When we’re
full of good thoughts there is no place for sinful imaginings.
Chapter 11, Who’s the Boss, is also an excellent chapter. God is
the boss and we need to train our thoughts to bring them into
conformity with that idea.
This is an excellent
book. If you’d like to free yourself to lead a happier more peace
life in conformity with God, I highly recommend it. It’s not a
particularly easy book to read. It’s filled more with Bible
teaching than examples from everyday life. However, it’s well worth
taking the time to read and appreciate it.
I received this book
from Handlebar for this review.
