Transform Your Thinking, Transform your life
In the book of Romans, the apostle Paul encourages believers to be transformed by renewing their mind. The Greek word for transformed is "metamorphosis" or "to change." Dr. Bill Winston reveals that believers must believe what God says about them and their situations, more than what their circumstances say. They must build a new way of thinking.
Dr. Bill Winston encourages that God's Word takes a higher place than their current situations. God promises an abundant life, not a barely-get-through-it life, but that is where many believers have been living. Readers will begin to discover God's promises of peace and abundance and find ways to renew their minds through study and meditation, giving them the inner strength to overcome adversity and find success in every area.

Transform Your Thinking, Transform Your Life by Dr. Bill Winston is a heavy hitter. I must warn you if you’re not ready for change, responsibility and accountability for what you know, then don’t read this book.
Dr. Winston has opened up the door to spiritual renovation that will blow your mind. I plan to keep this book and skim back through it to get anything I missed, and maintain that which the Holy Spirit has imparted while reading. In this hour, God is raising up mature sons and daughters to do exploits for His kingdom and Dr. Winston’s book will help get God’s children to that place of maturity if they allow it.
While reading this book I began to see and understand how my heavenly father is using the problems I face to bring glory and honor to his name and bringing me to a place of victory. I saw how my incorrect thinking was distorting my view of God. He is not allowing trails and tests to teach me a lesson, although I will learn from the process, He is giving me problems to solve so that I can be more than a conqueror.

God!
I'm on a mission this year to read as much as I can about thought life and faith. I've picked up a lot of books and/or authors I've never heard of, like this one. It's on topic, though, so I wanted to read it.
Overall, there are a lot of great things in this book--I took plenty of notes and underlined a lot of passages. His emphasis on renewing your mind is spot on and supported in Scripture over and over again, as are his reference to the importance of spirit and truth.
However, I would encourage people to read carefully and prayerfully about what transforming your mind looks like. Yes, it absolutely changes our hearts and minds and conforms us to Christ; I hesitate to agree that it also means people will all have the same natural outcomes. Some of the most faithful, strongest Christians I know have health issues; it's not because they don't believe enough. Blanket statements about how our faith will manifest naturally (with wealth, health, status, etc.) can be misinterpreted and lead people to expect things that happened for other people instead of expecting things that are promised in Scripture.
Overall, some good stuff in this book, I would encourage reading in prayerfully and with discernment to distinguish biblical absolutes from personal experience.

This is one of the best books I read this year. I made it a goal to read 10 pages daily so it could be doable with my schedule. Also, having a consistent program allowed me to not miss a day of reading. So here are my takeaways from the first 4 chapters:
1. Chapter 1: I learned about the difference between, Your spirit and your soul. This was very helpful because it allowed me to see the difference between when God is speaking to one, when it is yourself, and when it is from the devil.
2. Chapter 2: I learned about how giving in to pressure, is the same thing as going with the enemy's plans. When you give in, you play into the traps of deception. One might think that they will stop being bothered at the moment, but it is you really signing a contract for disaster.
3. Chapter 3: The power of Meditation! I was able to learn about meditation in a Godly way. It showed me that the new age moment is just a perverse version of the tools God has given his children. Also that whatever you meditate on will become your reality.
4. Chapter 4: Leaving your comfort zone with the things of the lord. That is the only way you can grow.

Transform Your Thinking, Transform Your Life by Dr Bill Winston
AMAZING book. Took me a month to read and will restart. Renewing my mind has been incredibly wonderful and adjusting. Let go and all that’s not in line with the Word of God. Read this book for life. Roman’s 12:1-2 is my favorite

Blessed to be a blessing 🙏
To think is natural. Yet to invision and constantly ponder, is best carefully selected and intentionally done 👍
This writing is a great reminder of that .
Be blessed reading it.
You will be empowered and strengthened. 🙏
