About this item

In a world that is veering dangerously off course from what it calls “truth” comes a classic work that unmasks the lies we unwittingly believe, lies that destroy us, and ultimately damage our emotional health, relationships, and spiritual life.

In this completely revised and updated edition, psychologist Dr. Chris Thurman guides the listener through the lies we believe about ourselves, relationships, life, men, women, and, most important, God. He then unpacks the 12 essential truths for emotional health and the truth about God - the ultimate source of Truth.

This easy-to-follow guide to renewing the mind helps identify problem areas and the midcourse correction needed in how we view ourselves and our world. With biblical support, this timeless classic is required listening to help develop the mind of Christ and be able to experience the abundant life.

Discussion questions are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Liked the message Chris is sending out in this book. Provides good suggestions in looking to be more like Christ and less like the fallen world.

I've been blessed by opportunities to hear Dr. Thurman teach and share his wisdom and insights. The first time he said, "We all believe lies," I immediately thought, "What?! No, I do not!" But, he and his book have proven to me - the Truth is - we all believe lies. Every single one of us. It's an on-going, daily struggle to "take our thoughts captive" and something we cannot do without God's help. Dr. Thurman's book illuminates this perfectly. If you're reading these words, if you're breathing, this book is for you. There's at least one lie, if not more (that you don't even realize that you believe) that's holding you back from living a more abundant life, and from experiencing fuller, more rewarding relationships. The content of Dr. Thurman's book is mind transforming. Perspective shifting. Habit altering. Freedom bringing. Burden lifting.

If you are looking for a good, self(only)-help book, look elsewhere. If you were seeking to find and know God better and engage His help, so that HE, through His Holy Spirit, can work through your daily life, then buy 10 of these books AND the companion workbook Why buy 10? If you begin to follow just a couple suggestions in the first two chapters, you will run out of books to share with others who, like me, need the scales removed from my eyes that I may know more fully the Truth... and soundly identify and reject Satan’s lies. Lastly, this book is a clarion call to the frustrated, defeated, struggling Christians to stand up and exercise our spiritual muscles with step-by-step details leading to HIS victory in our daily/hourly lives.

This read brings clarity to the way we think and challenges us to look at how God feels about us.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding reminder of our identity and worth in Christ!
Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2019
As a fellow believer in Christ who struggles with keeping an eye on my true worth and identify, Dr Thurman’s book is a blessed piece of work that reminds me of who I am as a child of God based on Biblical truths and challenges the worldly thoughts that the Enemy would love to shackle me by. I would highly recommend this book and it’s Scriptural truths if you need some encouragement to keep running the Race set before us along the bumpy roads of life.

5.0 out of 5 stars CBT from a Christian Viewpoint
Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2022
This book was recommended by my therapist. The premise is that many people have a distorted world-view that they are not aware of. The author examines different distortions and counters them with a healthy biblical view.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent supplemental material and revision to original
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2019
I really enjoyed reading and studying this new edition. The first three chapters on Beliefs provide excellent introduction and motivation for the rest of the book. I think the reorganization of the Lies sections shows Dr. Thurman's additional 30 years experience in counseling and provides increased clarity. And most importantly, the new emphasis on the Truths we must believe makes this a great resource for everyone. Thank you Dr. Thurman.

3.0 out of 5 stars Falls a bit short
Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2011
Purchased this book hoping to be enlightened with some methods of dealing with stress. It falls a bit short of that in the fact that the author believes that people can shut off emotions at will like a faucet. I have been trying to get a problem solving book showing best methods to deal with lifes problems and this fell short. It does have some words of wisdom and clearly shows that how we view issues will determine how well we cope with them. So it does no harm to read. But it does throw out the enormous complexity of everyday events like dealing with family members or spouses or children. It over simplifies issues like weight gain just saying hey, there is no problem. Perhaps sometimes there is a problem. Just when do we need to do something constructive about an issue? Just to ignore every issue does not make good sense to me. This book would work well for someone like a "spock" from Star Trek if you are a vulcan free of emotions. It preaches basic communication, sacrifice, and understanding, but we already knew all that is good. Overall this book gives good words of wisdom that we already know without any earth shattering discoveries like how to calm down when you are late for a airplane flight and you are sitting in a traffic jam and your due to present your companies sales pitch to clients in the morning. Oh yeah, and your car is overheating and the ac just quit working and you are low on gas (and you really got to go to the bathroom, like now). Hey, just smile and whistle a happy tune, after all it is just how you react to the situation. Yeah, right.....That is when you wish you were Spock and could just beam the heck out of there.
