The Renewed Mind - by Larry Christenson (Paperback)

About the Book

This book is a simple yet thorough look at how to live as the Bible states Christians should -- how to be transformed from sinner to saint by the renewing of their minds in Christ. A series of parables and images are used to teach biblical principles for breaking bad habits; controlling sinful thoughts, ideas and attitudes; and sidestepping traps that can keep a Christian from becoming the person God intends.

Book Synopsis

Becoming the Person God Wants You to Be



Have you ever tried to break a bad habit? By sheer will power you set your mind to overcome it ... but suddenly, there it is again! Do you ever have thoughts rise up in your mind which would make you blush if they were suddenly broadcast over a loudspeaker? Experiences like this express the gap which exists between what we are and what we want to be. This book is all about bridging that gap!



In a vivid series of images and parables, the Christian life is depicted not as a drear duty, but as an adventure of faith--living each day by the guidance and power of Christ's indwelling presence.
