Many of us know how positive thoughts generate positive actions and negative thoughts cause negative behavior, but do we understand that we can manage our lives by managing our thoughts? Science backs up this concept with studies about the brain and "neuroplasticity," but this idea is embedded in every chapter of the Bible as well. For example, Romans 12:2 says, "Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind." Changing your thoughts can change your mind!
The enemy aims to entangle you in a web of unhealthy thoughts and corrupt, contaminate, and confuse your mind with a false system. But God loves you too much to allow you to lead a life marked by poor thinking: He made your brain, so He can&nbsp;retain your brain. The thoughts, regrets, and worries of the past do not need to characterize the rest of your life.
In the&nbsp;Tame Your Thoughts Study Guide, Max Lucado explores three key thought management tools and teaches you how to apply them to common thought problems such as guilt, worry, anxiety, and others. You will discover how to:
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
<li>take your thoughts captive;</li>
<li>test each message against the truth of Scripture;</li>
<li>interrupt poisonous thought threads before they infect you; and</li>
<li>think and act like Jesus.</li>
</ul>

Twelve Ordinary Men Workbook, Revised

They weren't saints, scholars, or religious sages. The most amazing trait about the disciples-including a handful of common fishermen, a hated tax collector, and an impulsive zealot-is that Jesus ever selected them at all.&nbsp;
The Twelve Ordinary Men Workbook explores the disciples' lives, putting you in their shoes. You'll experience their doubts and hopes and hear the power of Jesus' words in a whole new way. If Christ can accomplish His purposes through the lives of common men like these, imagine what He has in store for you!
This updated companion guide to John F. MacArthur's bestselling book of the same name includes biblical studies of each disciple, thought-provoking questions, and life application assignments.

Anxious for Nothing Study Guide & Streaming Video

Anxiety is on the rise in our culture. Max Lucado has found a new prescription for treating anxiety. He invites readers into a study of Philippians 4:6-7 where the Apostle Paul tells Christ followers, "Do not be anxious about anything..." Is he really suggesting we can have no anxiety? Lucado teaches, "The presence of anxiety is unavoidable, but the prison of anxiety is optional. It's the life of perpetual anxiety that Paul wants to address. Don't let anything in life leave you perpetually in angst."
In this 5-session companion study guide to&nbsp;Anxious for Nothing, Max Lucado studies God's encouraging message for those with anxiety as found in Philippians. As you celebrate God's goodness, ask for His help, leave your concerns with Him, and meditate on good things, you will begin to experience God's peace-the peace that "transcends all understanding" and helps you reframe the way you look at your fears.
