By Richard Ganz
Richard Ganz was a psychologist who was captured by Christ and became a pastor. In this book he talks about how we can take charge of our lives and stop being victims of our circumstances. It was a good book in that it was a good reminder, but I found it a little on the simplistic side of things. His message is basically that your circumstances do not need to control how you think, act and feel, but that if you look to the objective grounding in God you can be in charge of you life and rise above your circumstance. I totally agree with his stance, but I'm not sure it needed to take 250 pages to convince me. This book, however, is worth a read (maybe skim read) as a reminder to not be the passive recipients of our situation in life.
Random Quote:(page 164)
The Bible contains a mountain of truth that can negate any negative psychological state we may be in today, or may find ourselves in tomorrow. This includes despair, anger, anxiety, loneliness, and so on. The truth demands a verdict! The problem for us as we face this is simple. If we do not know the Bible, we lack the ability and knowledge to counter disabling thoughts.
