Change Your Thoughts, Change Your World

How Life-Giving Thoughts Can Unlock Your Destiny

By: Bobby Schuller

Narrated by: Bobby Schuller

Pastor, writer, and host of the popular television broadcast Hour of Power, Bobby Schuller shows readers the importance of paying attention to our thoughts because they shape our actions.

There is no doubt that our thoughts impact our lives. What we think about will ultimately result in the decisions that will guide our lives. Yet we very often don't think about what we think about. We don't realize that our thought lives can be scattered or disciplined, anxious or at peace, filled with faith and hope or wallowing in despair. We instead just allow our minds to wander like corks on the sea. What if we are supposed to be training our minds, thinking with discipline, so we can be the people God has called us to be?

This, of course, is what God wants for us. In his letter to the Corinthians, Paul urges us to "put on the mind of Christ." Too often, we allow very dark thoughts like bitterness, entitlement, fear, or despair to be our norm. Then we self-medicate through substances, work, or other vices just to get our minds off of what's ailing us.

In this book, Schuller explains why we need to focus our thoughts on whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, or praiseworthy, as Philippians says. He shows us how to train our minds through spiritual disciplines and prayer. For anyone who feels stressed out, exhausted, or in a rut, this book can change their thoughts and their lives.

Biblically Sound

It relates to practical as well as spiritual life. I would certainly listen to more books by Bobby Schuller.

Energizing

This is a favorite title in my Audible library. Pastor Bobby’s inspirational book delivered by his ever pleasant narration is remarkably powerful. He conveys big ideas with practical examples and serves them up with erudition and charm. I buy copies and give them to my friends. Beautiful work.

Good Reminder

I liked the stories and focus on what really matters in life and how we should be aligning our time, purpose, and life!

Changed my way of thinking

This book changed my way of thinking and reminded me I can control how I my daily situations can either bring me joy or if I let them bring me unhappiness. It all depends on me and how letting go and asking God to take control gives me and those around me a much happier life. Dwelling on the bad and repeating over and over those memories that cause us to relive the bad times can be changed. Bobby gives simple advice followed by true examples of a new way of living without the heaviness of defeating thoughts. Life changing read!

Good Content, Awful Narration!

The author narrates this book as if he is talking to a child. His tone and inflections are irritating and distracting. Couldn’t listen after awhile. He’s a better writer than a reader. If you like the subject, get the book! I can NOT recommend the audio version!
