Publisher's summary

During the 17th century, English Puritan pastors often encouraged their congregations in the spiritual discipline of meditating on God and His Word. Today, however, much of evangelicalism is either ignorant of, or turned off to, the idea of meditation.

In God's Battle Plan for the Mind, pastor David Saxton seeks to convince God's people of the absolute necessity for personal meditation and motivate them to begin this work themselves. But he has not done this alone. Rather, he has labored through numerous Puritan works in order to bring together the best of their insights on meditation. Standing on the shoulders of these giants, Saxton teaches us how to meditate on divine truth and gives valuable guidance about how to rightly pattern our thinking throughout the day. With the rich experiential theology of the Puritans, this book lays out a course for enjoying true meditation on God's Word.

meditation

overall I like the book. I think some of the authors points are repetitive. I would prefer a book with less then for it to be repetitive in order to have more. The topic is an important one. I struggled to finish it and ended up skipping some sections.
I might revisit those sections at a different time.

Great book

Great book I recommend it for biblical prayer and meditation it has been very helpful

A GEM 💎 FROM HEAVEN 🌿🕊🌸🌿🕊🌸

This book is a “God-Send” for Christians in this day and age .... and the future!!! I am set back on course with my “first ❤️ love”.
There are SO MANY books 📚 you won’t have to read because this book is many rolled into one. I love the way this author writes and explains things simply. I devoured it in less than 24 hours and I am excited to read it again and take priceless notes this time.

Very useable!

Great book for a Christian at any maturity level. This is the kind of book every believer should have in their library and re-read it each year. Solid doctrine paired with daily practices of how to walk more closely switch Christ Jesus.

Biblical, Worth Listening, Must have tool in your

Loved it. so much so, that I have listened through it twice in a row and working on it a third time.

A Most Necessary Joy for The Christ Follower!

What a wonderful menu of Christian delights that encourage the believer, instruct the believer, and equip the believer in learning to enjoy the Godhead and become a more authentic servant of our Lord in this world! It provided for me both low hanging fruit as well as the challenge to reach higher for the fruit just beyond one’s reach of faith. Thank you so very much for this challenging work to be intentional in allowing God to love me and then to be so stirred to love Him more.

Must Read for any Christian

This book had a more powerful impact on my walk as a Christian than any book I’ve ever read. It’s like I was finally armed in this fight of the faith after years of swinging a wooden stick. Must read!!

Comprehensive and thorough!

Kindles the fire for drawing closer to the Lord!
Biblical and beneficial for a culture distracted by the hamster wheel of electronics and the remedy to put Jesus first. Avoiding the divided life with one foot in the world and the Spirit filled life on the back burner. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God!

Excellent and easy to understand

The author walks you through the process of meditation while applying biblical passages to galvanize Christians to action.

Learn to meditate Biblically

Well researched and Biblically sound in my opinion. I will be going back to this study often, Lord willing.
