What I Loved
This book is filled with practical tools to address the most common mindset struggles. Denise shares vulnerably and infuses the truths in God’s Word throughout the book. It’s simply laid out and filled with wonderful nuggets and keys to successfully shifting the most common negative mindsets.
Michelle provides simple yet powerful action steps you can take today to overcome mindset struggles. You’ll find her Counselor’s Corner at the end of each chapter to be invaluable.
We need to hold on to God’s truth while filtering out the messages, philosophies, and worldviews contrary to the Word of God that impact our mind and heart. If we don’t make up our mind, others will do it for us.

I struggle the most with being anxious and have found ways to calm my anxiety.
Would love this!
What a timely book. Having our minds fixed on the Lord and not the chaos of life around us is so important.
Looks to be a great and helpful book!
This book looks so helpful and good! I can’t wait to read it! I think I’ve struggled with a lonely mindset for most of my life and it has really impacted me. I can’t count the number of times I have felt overwhelmingly lonely in a room full of people, or even among friends and family. I’ve felt like a fish out of water everywhere I go. I know that this is based on a lie somewhere in my life that I’ve believed, I would love freedom from this!!
I think this book is so important for the times we’re in and I can’t wait to read it!
I’ve dealt with trauma.
Lately, the mindset I struggle with is discontentment. I grew up in poverty and am usually very grateful for the small things in life (like having indoor plumbing), but I do not like where I live. I want to move to the county, but with the housing market prices, it seems to be out of reach. I have to remind myself of my childhood and remember things used to be much worse.
It sounds like a great book!
I struggle the most with being anxious…it effects my everyday mood of being angry, not satisfied, always needing to hurry and short tempered.
This book looks fantastic!!
I’m not really sure which one I struggle with the most…I was just thinking about this whole thing today and realizing again how much I need to take my thoughts captive. This book sounds like a great tool!
Thank you
