By: Jennie Allen

Narrated by: Jennie Allen

New York Times best seller

You can choose hope in the midst of chaos.

The visionary behind the million-strong IF:Gathering challenges you to exercise your God-given power to shift negative thinking patterns and take back control of your thoughts and emotions.

"A must-have resource for anyone looking to get control of their thoughts." (Lysa TerKeurst, number one New York Times best-selling author and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries)

Christian Book Award finalist

Named one of the Best Books of the Year by Cosmopolitan

Are your thoughts holding you captive? I’ll never be good enough. Other people have better lives than I do. God couldn’t really love me. Jennie Allen knows what it’s like to swirl in a spiral of destructive thoughts, but she also knows we don’t have to stay stuck in toxic thinking patterns.

As she discovered in her own life, God built a way for us to escape that downward spiral. Freedom comes when we refuse to be victims to our thoughts and realize we have already been equipped with power from God to fight and win the war for our minds.

In Get Out of Your Head, Jennie inspires and equips us to transform our emotions, our outlook, and even our circumstances by taking control of our thoughts. Our enemy is determined to get in our heads to make us feel helpless, overwhelmed, and incapable of making a difference for the kingdom of God. But when we submit our minds to Christ, the promises and goodness of God flood our lives in remarkable ways.

It starts in your head. And from there, the possibilities are endless.

Critic reviews

“What a timely message! In Get Out of Your Head, my friend and men- tor Jennie Allen does a beautiful job of taking your hand, leading you to those places in your mind that need healing, and allowing space for Jesus to break chains.” (Sadie Robertson, New York Times best-selling author, speaker, and founder of Live Original)

“You’re going to find a boatload of love and truth in these pages. This book won’t just change the way you think; it will alter the way you live.” (Bob Goff, New York Times best-selling author of Love Does and Everybody, Always)

“This book is a beautiful reminder that God is at work in all the messiness of our minds. God beckons us to get out of our heads and practice daily presence and rest with Him.” (Latasha Morrison, author and founder of Be the Bridge)

Speaking truth in love

The narrator was Jennie herself and she did a fabulous job bringing her book to life with her hint of southern drawl and emotional inflections.

The material was well balanced between spiritual and mental, careful not to neglect how complicated and hard to navigate the inner world can be. As a person who walks the line with a real anxiety diagnosis, I did not feel less or dismissed by this author as I often do in the Christian church. She used science and the Bible together, and showed how choosing one to combat mental illnesses or struggles does not mean dismissing the other, but instead showcases how truly compatable they are. It was refreshing to see her delve into psychological issues without fear of science, but saw science as another gift that God uses to teach and instruct us.

I recommend this book especially to women who feel a harsh inner critic sits on their shoulder. It was more then a self help book, it was a fellow Christian sister speaking the truth in love.

God in ...Bad out

An intimate look at the life and thoughts of a Christian who won the battle.

Amazing. Uplifting

This book couldn't have come into my life at a better time. The Lord has surely used it for my mind and heart!!!

Personal and encouraging!

This is one of the best books on overcoming anxious thoughts that I have read. The author made it personal, gave practical tips and acknowledged that sometimes our fears and worries do actually happen. But there is good news- our hope does not lie in this world. Loved how she backed everything up with scripture. I will be listening over and over and also bought the book. Bonus points that it was read by the author!

Life Changing

If your mind and emotions are a mess and you need help, read this.

Wow.

Loved it so much that I'm buying the hard back to get all the good stuff in writing!

Awesome Book

Get out of your head, is a thought provoking look at how we sabotage ourselves with conjured up thoughts that the likelihood of them happening is so far fetched. And it gives real tools on how to escape the false realities we've made for ourselves. It's a really honest, while being loving and encouraging, look at how to mind our mind.

Very inspiring. loved the audible version

I bought the book and really enjoyed it but wanted more time so I bought the audible version.
