Transform the way you think, feel and live
Tracie
Miles helps readers develop an
unsinkable faith through all circumstances
Thoughts are powerful and at times cause us
to feel and act in ways we wouldn’t normally. In fact, they can become so
powerful that if left unchecked, they end up controlling us rather than the
other way around. When our thoughts and feelings are largely negative in
nature, those pessimistic ideas infiltrate our lives — and our faith — making
it increasingly difficult to live with joy. In Unsinkable Faith: God-Filled Strategies
to Transform the Way You Think, Feel, and Live (David C Cook/April 1, 2017/
ISBN: 978-0781414364/$16.99), Tracie Miles offers practical,
life-changing strategies for those who struggle with negativity, leading them
to discover how the transforming of their minds can transform their lives.
For some individuals, remaining optimistic
about life and feeling positive about themselves are a constant battle. It may even
become a battle that seems hopeless, particularly when life is hard and
circumstances are difficult. For others, negativity is something that sneaks up
from time to time, catching them off-guard. In either case, once dark thoughts permeate
the mind, it becomes challenging to see the light. Even with the knowledge that
negativity doesn’t come from God, it’s difficult to escape wondering, Is it possible to develop an
unsinkable faith that carries us through life with a hopeful, positive attitude,
no matter what?
In the midst of a painful divorce, Miles was
faced with a barrage of negative self-talk. As she cried out to God through her
pain, she sensed Him drawing her nearer. “It was a turning point for me to lean
harder into Jesus instead of letting this situation shake my faith,” Miles
remembers. “I invited Him to help me transform my thoughts from negative into
positive so I could transform and reclaim my life.”
Each chapter of Unsinkable
Faith explores personal stories from Miles and others, showing how they
were able to rise above their circumstances by transforming and renewing their
minds. These inspiring stories illustrate when a person’s thoughts and
attitudes improve, their lives do too — even if the circumstances remain the
same.
Unsinkable
Faith is filled with Biblical wisdom and insight as
well as recent scientific findings in support of what Scripture has said all
along: It is possible to transform our lives by transforming of our minds. Romans
12:2 says, “Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without
even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the
inside out” (The Message).
Each chapter comes to a close with
“Strategies for Transforming Your Thinking,” which includes a section for
mind-transforming personal reflections that will help the reader begin to
identify their thinking habits and practically implement tools for positive
thinking into their own lives. Also included are mind-renewing scriptures and a
powerful Chapter Challenge to empower the reader to change from the inside out.
Unsinkable Faith will inspire readers
to embrace God’s truth as they discover His tools for a more positive and
optimistic outlook. Rather than sinking mentally, emotionally and spiritually,
God’s truths and a positive mindset make it possible to live a life of joy,
peace and happiness.
