A great follow up to "A Mind Renewed by God" by Kimball Hodges, Beth Moore practically addresses 14 strongholds, what scripture reveals about them, and presents scripture in prayer form to be incorporated into your daily prayer life. "A Mind Renewed by God" gave us the framework for right thinking. Beth Moore offers you the specifics of how to live it and make it your own. Loving God With All Your Mind by Elizabeth George More than 10,000 thoughts pass through your mind each day. Wouldn't you like every one of those thoughts to be pleasing to God? Elizabeth George shows how you can know the inner joy that comes from focusing your mind completely on what is true, pure, lovely and good. She shares 6 simple yet powerful Bible truths that God uses to transform a woman's life. Permanently change the way you think, feel and live. Sermon on the Mount Precept Study by Kay Arthur Are you pursuing a faith without compromise, without anxiety, without being judgmental? Do you long for a deep, rich, honest relationship with your Heavenly Father? Have you read the Sermon on the Mount and wondered what Christ really meant when he spoke the paradoxical blessings on those who weep, mourn and are persecuted? This life-changing study will take you past the initial "blesseds" into the very presence of Christ Himself as you understand what true righteousness is. Not able to attend Wed. a.m.?
