The Bible teaches that “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.”
We also read in Paul that the key to becoming who God wants us to be is through the “renewal of our minds” (Rom 12:1-2).
It is for these reasons that Dr. Earl Radmacher wrote this book.
The battle for the mind is the most important battle in the life of any Christian. Most often, we do not even know that a battle for our mind is underway, but our minds are constantly bombarded from every direction, through our five senses, through the spiritual realm, through cultural and social pressure, through memories and imagination, and through a wide variety of other sources.
This is why it is so important to learn how to “take every thought captive” and to learn what the Bible says about right thinking and how to change our minds.
Beginning with the that that we are what we think, Dr. Earl Radmacher invites the readers to take a journey of the mind, and then begin to transform their mind by beginning to think right about God, church, church leadership, and a variety of other topics.
This book is a classic from Dr. Earl Radmacher, and is essentially unchanged from the 1977 edition. It now has a Foreword from Ed Underwood, pastor of Church of the Open Door, Author of The Trail, and blogger at EdUnderwood.com
I have benefited from this book and recommend it for others.

Sounds interesting. There aren’t many books on renewing your mind. Are there online publishings I can read through about this book?

There are some reviews on Amazon.
Here are some thoughts I posted at my blog as well. http://bit.ly/RightThinkingPower
What a blessing, Jeremy! Thank you for doing this work.
I’m not sure how to ask this because it’s going to sound obtuse, no matter how I say it: How does this line up with the ads that appear right under the title ‘You and your thoughts’?
Cathy,
Those ads are actually served up by Google. They look at the browsing history on whatever computer you are using at the time to serve up ads specific to whatever sort of sites users on that particular computer have been visiting recently. Sooo, if you are seeing questionable ads, you might want to try a different computer or clear your browsing history….
When I visit that page multiple times, I see ads for Logos Bible Study Software, a Bible college, and blog hosting.
Um, I have no history on this computer. It’s as clean as I can get it, which might in itself explain the weird diversity of ads I see on this site: google just keeps trying in the hope it’ll snare me one day!
I just couldn’t quite understand how this blog post had ads for something I can guarantee I have never had any interest in, and certainly not in the volume being marketed – which is what was served up constantly today.
It is the history of the IP adress you use, and the platform you use.
Email addresses that are slurped up, are a secondary datapoint.
(This is why entertainment devices need to be on a different network, and use different email adresses, than professional devices, and both of those need to be segregated from the family devices.)
Well, today it’s alcohol rehab in thailand, courses at an online christian university, and some bible charity thing! With a dynamic IP, I still think we’re looking at random and what google thinks grabs attention. It couldn’t be an email address here if Jeremy doesn’t publish them.
Yes, if it is a fresh or clean computer, Google might just throw up some random ads.
Dr. Earl Radmacher also knows that “airo” in John 15:2 should be “lift up”.
Yes, he does. A great insight on John 15.
Good theology renews the mind.
Thanks Jeremy! this is a great subject indeed ” Renewal of our minds”. God bless you
