Think Christianly: Developing an Undivided Mind

by Joseph Boot

In an age of shallow soundbites and cultural confusion, the Christian mind is under siege—fragmented, dulled, and often disengaged. In Think Christianly, Dr. Joe Boot calls the church back to clarity, conviction, and courage—urging believers to develop an undivided heart through a mind renewed by the Word of God.

This is not a book of abstract theory or ivory-tower intellectualism. Drawing deeply from Scripture, philosophy, church history, and cultural criticism, Boot challenges the artificial divide between the sacred and the secular and reasserts the Lordship of Christ over all thought, culture, and creation.

Think Christianly is a bold and timely invitation to reform your mind—and, through it, reshape the world around you.

It’s time to think Christianly—about everything.

Reviews

[Ethan T. Duclos · Rating 2 out of 5]

I typically really enjoy Dr. Boot's books, but I was disappointed by this one. I was in agreement with his thesis and argumentation, but much of the book consisted of redundancy, repetition, and wordy descriptions of topics that could have been explained much more simply and with more precision.

I highly recommend reading Dr. Boot's Mission of God, or Ruler of Kings they are much more fulfilling to read.

[Matthew Rawlings · Rating 4 out of 5]

I highly recommend Dr. Boot's writings to each and every evangelical Christian. The chapters on Marxism and racism are alone worth the price of the book. However, I found his chapter on the church and the kingdom to be a bit weak. Still highly recommended.

Dr. Boot is challenging all Christians to think through their approach to life, have I followed Him far enough? Is my mind being transformed in all areas of life?
