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.

Ratings and reviews

Granted I only had the sample of this book, but WOW. Not only does Jennie Allen have a clear and relatable way of writing, she only confirms the validity of Scripture and how it completely marries with today's psychological findings on our brain's functions. Everything she says is beautifully therapeutic and so comforting, even a tonic to struggles in my own faith walk. Definitely a read-- and shows you CAN have Jesus and a therapist!

Such a great book. It has given me a new perspective on why it's important to manage my thought life and I loved all of the practical stories and applications of scripture used throughout. Well written and easy to read.

Save yourself the time and money and just listen to a few Dr. Joe Dispenza videos on youtube for free. He nails on the head what the author does not completely grasp. In the first chapter alone there is way too much "scientific" affirmation referencing to passages from the Bible I got lost as to what the author's direction and purpose were and completely lost interest. Nothing really game changing or eye opening here.
