The Dirty-Minded Christian

Book excerpt: Do you have a dirty mind? No, not that kind of mind--but a mind that allows negative thinking to prevail and screw up your life. If negativity and doubt seem to always sabotage your happiness, then it is time to clean up the filth between your ears so that you can live the life of your dreams! The Dirty-Minded Christian introduces a set of transformative principles to help you adapt to life's situations and equip yourself for success. Although there are very few situations where you can control what is happening in the world around you, you can take control of one thing--how you respond to life's events, both large and small. Your response stems from the way you think--and yes, from those dirty thoughts--but by acknowledging your struggles and weaknesses, you can build strength and resilience to navigate through and overcome your challenges. The key is the ADAPT2 Principle--attitude, discipline, action, patience, training, and trust--and authors Kirk and Linda Thomas will help you take advantage of their own real-life scenarios, some humorous insights, and the gift of grace to trust in God to help guide you. The ADAPT2 Principle will help, regardless of where your starting point is. So if you have a dirty mind, don't worry about it! You're not alone, and with these techniques, concepts, and strategies, things will begin to change. You can shift from wondering What am I going to do? to asking How can I ADAPT2 this?
