Think Like Jesus: Make the Right Decision Every Time

About Think Like Jesus:

The latest data from George Barna’s polls across America shows that we are confused by the issues that confront us today: · We find ourselves wrestling with what is right and wrong.
· Some us cut ethical corners and don’t even know it.
· We often base our actions on what feels right or keeps people happy, rather than on what is best or true. All because, Barna concludes, we lack an active, clear belief system based on sold scriptural principles. Now more than ever, we need a way of life that brings us clarity in the chaos, peace in the problems, and boldness in the bad times. We need a new way of seeing. A biblical perspective that guides our every thought and action. What is biblical perspective on life? To put it simply, Barna says, it is "way of dealing with the world so that we act like Jesus, twenty-four hours a day, because we Think Like Jesus. It’s like wearing a pair of eyeglasses that enable us to see things differently, to see things from God’s point of view, and to respond to these perceptions in the way He prescribes. Would you like to simplify your life, shore up your moral foundations, and strengthen your Christian witness? Think Like Jesus can help you chart a path that will allow you to make a difference for eternity in your home, your job, your church, your community.

Description of Think Like Jesus:

If you are like most Christians today, nobody has ever taught you how to develop a Scripture-based view of life and how to live consistently with that perspective. This book – the results of years of research and the author’s own personal journey – presents a step-by-step program for making every choice consistent with God’s principles and commands. It shows you how to ask, and answer, What would Jesus do if He were in my shoes right now? George Barna looks at the narrative of Jesus’ life and uncovers seven characteristics of His view of the world that worked together to facilitate what Jesus believed and how He acted. The author then considers the range of benefits emerging from thinking and acting this way. We are promised physical gain, emotional healing, superior decision-making, relational advantages, lifestyle enhancements, and spiritual health. "But the real benefit of thinking like Jesus," the author says, "is that it applies to everything." Barna believes that whether the issue is cloning, divorce, vocation, voting, media content, relationships, or family issues – it doesn’t matter; it’s all covered when you start thinking His way. If imitation is indeed the sincerest form of flattery, what better way is there to express your love for God than to commit yourself to thinking like Jesus?
