Changed thoughts make for changed lives. In Every Thought Captive, Kyle Idleman does a masterful job of weaving practical wisdom with biblical revelation, all while offering real-life application. I found myself circling paragraphs and noting pages to share. This book won't change just your life; it will change the lives of those you pass it to. * Kelly Balarie, author of Take Every Thought Captive; speaker; blogger at www.purposefulfaith.com * Every Thought Captive is a powerful guide for anyone struggling with the chaos of their own mind. Kyle Idleman masterfully combines Scripture, personal experience, and practical strategies to help readers take control of their thoughts and experience true transformation. If you're ready to break free from mental strongholds, this book is for you. * Craig Groeschel, pastor, Life.Church; author, The Benefit of Doubt * I've heard it said that our emotions are like smoke from the fire of our hearts. If you notice smoke in your house, don't focus on the smoke; find the fire! Kyle Idleman contends that too many of us attempt to fix the 'smoke' in our lives with behavior modification when what we really need is a gospel encounter in the depth of our souls. This book will help you so much. Pastor Kyle is one of our generation's best communicators. Insightful, relatable, inspiring, and circumspect--he has it all. * J. D. Greear, PhD, pastor, The Summit Church * In our efforts to grow, change, break old habits, improve relationships, and become more Christlike, we so often begin at the wrong place. Good intentions and willpower certainly have their place, but Kyle Idleman takes us to the source of where real change happens--our thinking. In Kyle's personal and sensitive style, he takes us on a biblical and practical journey to learn how changing our thinking changes our lives. * Chip Ingram, CEO and teaching pastor, Living on the Edge; author, True Spirituality * It can be frustrating to fall into cycles of negative thoughts and feel stuck. Kyle Idleman knows this all too well, but he also knows that the power of right thinking can change everything. Let his biblical guidance and time-tested experience show you how to renew your mind and set your heart on things above. * Mark Batterson, New York Times bestselling author of The Circle Maker * Our modern moment seems unable to recognize the spiritual significance of what we put in front of our eyes. This book is a welcome reminder that the Bible assumes we have agency in what we put in front of our minds, and that these choices affect how (or what!) we believe. Though this is perhaps easier said than done, Every Thought Captive is a great practical guide on how to start. * Justin Whitmel Earley, business lawyer; author, Habits of the Household * This book illustrates why I try to read everything Kyle Idleman writes. It's fresh, practical, encouraging, convicting, and challenging. I'm a better person when I apply biblical principles to my life, and Kyle helps me do exactly that. Read this book, and let Kyle guide you on a journey of discovery and transformation. Renew your mind and change your life! * Lee Strobel, bestselling author of The Case for Christ and Seeing the Supernatural *
