Tame Your Thoughts: Three Tools to Renew Your Mind and Transform Your Life

"NOW A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! Read by the author. The Way We Think Directly Impacts Our Joy and Peace When was the last time you awakened to a swirl of out-of-control thoughts? Perhaps you were overwhelmed with anxiety, the fear of rejection, or the grip of guilt. In Tame Your Thoughts, Max Lucado provides three biblical and practical tools to renew your mind and transform your life. Our thoughts have consequences. Most people would agree that positive thoughts generate positive actions. Negative thoughts activate negative behavior. But do we understand that we can manage our lives by managing our thoughts? Not only does neuroscience back this concept, but the idea is also embedded throughout Scripture. 'Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind' (Rom.12:2 esv). Tame your thoughts and transform your life! In Tame Your Thoughts, bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado explores three key thought management tools and then applies them to the most common thought problems: anxiety, guilt, rejection, and others. God loves us too much to let us lead a life marked by poor thinking. He made our brains; he can retrain our brains. God has not left us alone in this battle of the mind. Stuck in your head? Ticked off at the world? Weighed down by worry? There is hope. Change is possible! The thoughts that have characterized your past need not characterize the rest of your life. Max shares how to use three thought management tools to - take thoughts captive, - test each message against the truth of Scripture, - interrupt poisonous thought threads, and - think and act like Jesus. If God can resurrect the dead, can he not resurrect hope? Defy depression? Clarify confusion? Silence shame? Destroy doubt? Banish bitterness? Take God at his word. 'For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind' (2 Tim. 1:7 nkjv, emphasis added). With God as your helper, you will discover a new way of thinking and a better way of living. We can tame each thought, friends. Figures, reflection questions, and a scripture database can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download."

"¿Atrapado en tu cabeza? ¿Perseguido por los remordimientos? ¿Cargado de preocupaciones? ¡El cambio es posible! Los pensamientos que han caracterizado tu pasado no tienen por qué definir el resto de tu vida. En Doma tus pensamientos, Max Lucado te ofrece tres herramientas bíblicas y prácticas para renovar tu mente y transformar tu vida. Nuestros pensamientos tienen consecuencias. La mayoría de las personas estarían de acuerdo en que los pensamientos positivos generan acciones positivas, mientras que los pensamientos negativos activan comportamientos negativos. Pero ¿realmente entendemos que podemos manejar nuestra vida al controlar nuestros pensamientos? No solo la neurociencia respalda esta idea, sino que también está presente en toda la Escritura: «No os conforméis a este siglo, sino transformaos por medio de la renovación de vuestro entendimiento» (Ro. 12:2, RVR1960). ¡Domina tus pensamientos y transforma tu vida! En Doma tus pensamientos, Max explora tres herramientas clave para gestionar el pensamiento y luego las aplica a los problemas mentales más comunes: la preocupación, la culpa, la ansiedad y otros tipos de arenas movedizas mentales que amenazan con atraparnos. Dios nos ama demasiado como para dejarnos llevar una vida marcada por un pensamiento pobre. Él creó nuestro cerebro; él puede reentrenarlo. Dios no nos ha dejado solos en esta batalla de la mente. Aprenderás a: - Tomar el control de tus pensamientos cautivos. - Examinar cada mensaje a la luz de la verdad de la Escritura. - Interrumpir pensamiento venenosos. - Pensar y actuar como Jesús. Si Dios puede resucitar a los muertos, ¿no podrá resucitar la esperanza? ¿Derrotar la depresión? ¿Aclarar la confusión? ¿Silenciar la vergüenza? ¿Destruir la duda? ¿Desterrar la amargura? Con Dios como tu ayudante, descubrirás una nueva forma de pensar y una mejor manera de vivir. Una nueva persona comenzará a surgir. Tame Your Thoughts Stuck in your head? Hounded by regrets?

An Angel's Story: The First Christmas from Heaven’s View

"Spiritual beings populate the stories of Scripture. Angels singing. Demons infecting. Heavenly hosts fighting . . . Ignore the armies of God and Satan and you ignore the heart of Scripture. Ever since the snake tempted Eve in Eden, we've known: there is more to this world than meets the eye. In this classic Christmas novella, best-selling author Max Lucado imagines the spiritual conflict that surrounded the coming of Christ. Surely there was much. If Satan could pre-empt Christ in the cradle, there'd be no Christ on the cross. Journey back in time to the very throne of God ... and witness firsthand the glory, the wonder, and the battle that took place on the very first Christmas."

"¿Estamos viviendo el final de los tiempos? Si es así, ¿qué significa eso para mí? La guía optimista, accesible y no sensacionalista de Max Lucado sobre lo que dice la Biblia acerca de la línea temporal del cielo capacitará a los lectores para afrontar el futuro con fe. Siete años de caos llamados la Tribulación. Un Anticristo cruel y astuto. La temida batalla de Armagedón.

Explica que - fuimos creados para reinar con Cristo; - Dios ha hecho y cumplirá sus promesas - el cielo tiene un calendario; y - a los hijos de Dios les espera una era dorada, el milenio. En un mundo lleno de tensiones políticas, pruebas personales y turbulencias internacionales, nos sentimos atraídos por explorar qué ocurre a continuación en la línea temporal del cielo. Tanto si los lectores se encuentran en el bando de 'no puedo esperar', 'estoy casi preparado' o 'no estoy seguro de todo esto', se sentirán animados a reflexionar sobre los planes y promesas de Dios para el futuro.
