My Review:
I love the premise of this book, memorizing Bible verses to replace negative thoughts. The authors desire we fix our minds on what God says is true. I appreciate that they picked some of the most common negative thoughts Christians experience, provide a verse to memorize and include good teaching on the subject. Topics include feeling unloved, insecure, unaccepted, depressed, afraid, and more.
So, a good premise, good teaching but poor visual helps to memorization.
My rating: 4/5 stars.
