Jesus calls Christians to live for him, but it’s hard! A tangle of distracting thoughts and painful emotions can trip us up and stop us from being the people we long to be.
Christian neuropsychologist Jo Johnson pairs biblical insight with the tools of psychology to offer a freeing way forward. Through her positive, practical, down-to-earth perspective, you will…
Driven by the desire to become more like Christ, this book takes your inner struggles seriously while offering the hope of the gospel.
You will be encouraged to throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, fixing your eyes on Jesus as you run the race (Hebrews 12:1)!
Each chapter concludes with action steps and prompts to worship.
I love this book it's like reading your own brain and learning how to cope with day to day struggles. Some brilliant advice and godly wisdom. Written in an uncomplicated style that I love. Just brilliant 😊🙏
The author, a clinical phsycologist gives straightforward easily actioned steps to bring our thought lives under control. We all know what we should be doing and there is no shortage of people telling us this but it's rare to find someone helping us with how to do it!

3.5 stars, rounded up for the right audience.
Jo Johnson is a Christian psychologist, and in this book, she shares paradigm shifts and practical tips that can help people deal with difficult emotions and unhealthy thinking patterns. She shows how the Bible and psychology work together ...to help us understand ourselves and feel less "stuck" in our negative thoughts and difficult emotions.
Johnson writes in a casual, conversational style, and her vulnerable sharing about her own mental mess can help people feel seen and supported. This book is engaging and easy to read, with short chapters and lots of practical insights. Each chapter concludes with some exercises to try, as well as a spiritual reflection section. Johnson suggests Bible verses to read, hymns to listen to, and things to pray about, all based on that chapter's topic. With some of the practical exercises, I didn't find the acronyms for them memorable, so I recommend taking notes on the steps.
This book introduces important concepts and can be helpful for anyone, but people with more serious mental health issues should know that if the advice in this book doesn't cut it, that isn't a failure on their part. I wish that the author had recommended some additional resources in the book for people who need more intense help.
This is a great book for Christians who feel a bit skeptical about psychology, but want to learn practical skills for better managing their thoughts and feelings. The author shows that instead of punishing yourself with self-blame or trying to think your way out of your problems, you can accept grace and take practical steps towards greater awareness, balance, and healing.
I received a complimentary copy from the publisher, and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
