Loving God with All Your Mind

The author is probably just trying to make specific points, but she repeats the same verses of Scripture again and again and again. Just not my cup of tea.

every Christian needs to have this book in there possession.

I've spent a lot of my life being held captive by Giant Despair. This book brought me hope, help, and refreshment. If you have ever struggled with the "If only" of the past, the "What if" of the future, or the "It wasn't supposed to be like this!" of the present, you will enjoy this book.

This book is written for women, but I am just one of many men who have benefited greatly from Elizabeth George's fantastic first work, Loving God With All Your Mind.In her own gentle way, Elizabeth takes us on a journey through her own personal struggle with depression. Unlike most self-help bestsellers, George isnt' content to leave the reader depressed just like she wasn't content to say depressed herself. Instead, she takes us on the same journey through Scripture to find lasting, life-changing answers. It wasn't until I read Loving God With All Your Mind that I realize how much control we have over our mind. We don't have to be besieged by worry and fear. We don't have to live in bondage to the opinions of others. We don't have to operate in a bubble of our own self-consciousness. Christians can rise above this by yielding their minds to the Holy Spirit. If you never read any other Christian book, read Elizabeth George's excellent classic, Loving God With All Your Mind. Make a permanent place for it on your nightstand.

It wasn't until I came upon a trying situation that I started to read this book that I had for 3 years. It has changed my attitude during my VERY difficult situation. Let me share with you an excerpt that has meant so much: "There is nothing--no circumstance, no trouble, no testing--that can ever touch me until, first of all it has gone past God and past Christ, right through to me. If it has come this far, it has come with a great purpose, which I may not understand at the moment. But as I refuse to become panicky, as I lift up my eyes to Him and accept it as coming from the throne of God for some great purpose of blessing to my own heart, no sorrow will ever disturb me, no trial will ever disarm me, no circumstance will cause me to fret--for I shall rest in the joy of what my Lord is--That is the rest of victory." No matter what I'm facing, I know that if I continue in His will, I will only come out a winner.

This book was so wonderful in taking the truths of God's word and expanding them and applying them. I recommend this book to any Christian woman that wants there relationship with God stregthened. Elizabeth George uses the experience and tools the God has given her to help other ladies walk with the Spirit by having a good and positive thought life. It was an easy read, and one of those books you want to start all over and read again because you are afraid you might have missed something.

This is an excellent book for all women who want to really love God with all their mind and know they should. Gives 6 scriptures as guidelines on how to do this. Learn how to train your thoughts to make them obedient to God, overcome worry and fear, how to deal with friendships, and a whole lot more all while learning how to love God with all your mind. No worldly psychology here. This is all scripturally based. For all Christian women whether you are just starting out or have been a believer for many years. Excellent!
