Experience the joy, freedom, and fulfillment God wants for you by learning the key to making God-glorifying choices: the power of pre-decision.

What if we actually have the ability to break free from the pitfalls of impulsive decisions and develop positive, godly habits? What if becoming the person you want to be starts now, before you make a decision?

Craig Groeschel—author of Winning the War in Your Mind—will empower you to put into action seven life-defining pre-decisions that will help you overcome the daily temptations, distractions, and influences that constantly bombard us. Drawing on Scripture, story, and the latest research into human behavior, Think Ahead will help you:

  • Understand the science behind your decision-making habits.
  • Equip you with the tools to avoid sinful and damaging patterns.
  • Overcome decision fatigue and debilitating fears.
  • See how your small choices shape the kind of Christ-follower you become.

Pastor Craig knows from personal experience and as a counselor to others what it's like to feel stuck or overwhelmed. Think Ahead is your playbook for defining and putting into action seven life-defining, God-glorifying I will statements that you can make today to prepare you for your big moments tomorrow.

Impactful and Empowering Guide for a God-Honoring Life and Decision-Making

It is difficult to put into words how impactful and empowering this book is. Covering the seven key decisions to make in order to lead a God-honoring life - be ready, be devoted, be faithful, be an influencer, be generous, be consistent, and be a finisher - Craig does a masterful job of methodically covering each area with scientific and biblical truths, leading to a rock-solid game plan for anyone looking to make sincere and lasting change in their life through the power of deciding who they want to become as a person and a child of God. I love the way in which the book covers and gives practical insight for how to effectively and routinely think ahead and pre-decide in each of the key areas, tying in examples of myriad people who have succeeded throughout history - most importantly God’s own son, Jesus Christ, and how He made the same pre-decisions for us. This truth helps me want to make these same life-changing and defining decisions for Him as I am equipped and ready to choose who I will become as a true child of God.

The Discipline of Pre-Deciding

Great book!!! “Pre-deciding” is an awesome discipline that I have never heard of. This is a game changer and just what I needed to hear to help me be more consistent and be ready to make the right decisions in the tough moments. Thank you Craig and team for being a channel of GOD’s blessing to us.

Powerful Advise

I recently started attending Life.Church online with Pastor Craig. I’ve found his preaching to be very beneficial so I decided to purchase his book. Boy, I’m glad I did! Excellent advice and he keeps you engaged.
