I also appreciate the practical visuals and tools she includes in the chapters. But in the way a crafted author can, she puts it together in a flow that is extremely helpful.
I was so encouraged that so much of what she shares is what I walk through with so many of my clients. This book brings together scripture, and psychology, to guide you through how to fight the battle in your mind. What the Bible teaches us about our thought life (like taking every thought captive) is backed by science, possibly more than you realize. I was only a few pages in when I realized this book was going to be such a practical help to so many of my clients, along with friends and family. This is the first book I have read of hers. If you don’t know Jennie Allen, she is the founder of IF: Gathering, and is a speaker and writer to Christian women across the country. This first book review will be of the book “Get Out of Your Head,” by Jennie Allen. I thought, why not begin to write some book reviews? About the author
Most of what I read has a few nuggets of wisdom here and there, but recently I have read a couple of books that I can see recommending to the vast majority of my clients. Most of these books are Christian self-help/mental health resources.
But, over the last decade or so, and especially since my time in seminary, I have transitioned to reading mostly nonfiction. I remember loving the school library and always having a fiction book I was reading I still love this. “We have bought the lie that we are victims of our thoughts rather than warriors equipped to fight on the front lines of the greatest battle of our generation: the battle of our minds.” She (Jennie Allen) had me from page 4.
