It’s been awhile since I’ve read “Forgive and Forget” by Lewis Smede, but at the time I read it, it was very influential in helping me get rid of some intense anger I was holding onto. It might be a helpful one for you too?

I’ve just finished Get Out Of Your Head by Jennie Allen, which had some excellent advice on doing this. I’m sure I’d benefit from Sarah’s book too!

I want to take the verse “take all thoughts captive” more seriously this year and work through unhealthy thoughts patterns. Are there any Christian books you recommend on processing and dealing with root issues causing anger?

A quote I memorised and often tell people if they are struggling in their minds is, “Don’t you know that most of your unhappiness in life is because you are listening to yourself instead of talking to yourself?” He encourages us to preach the Gospel to ourselves, it is an excellent book!

Coming via Grace + Truth 🙂

I am seeing a trend now for the call to take our thoughts captive. I see it in what others are writing about and in other books coming out. Thank you for sharing this review of Sarah’s book.

Meditating on scripture is such a help! There is always room for improvment…and this book seems like it would really be a blessing!

We tend to just let our thoughts flow where they will instead of correcting them or “taking them captive” as one verse says. We do pull them back from some topics but think we can’t help them in others.
