PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this impassioned but limited testament, pastor Giglio (Not Forsaken) closely reads Psalm 23, especially the verse "he prepares a table for me," to suggest ways to find freedom from suffering by focusing on Jesus. While stressful situations can tempt people away from faith, he writes, God promises peace in the midst of strife. For Giglio, thoughts and feelings of envy, despair, or inadequacy are signs of evil intruding on God's grace. Giglio suggests that by recognizing false thoughts, praying, and replacing negative thoughts with scripture, readers can gain peace. Unfortunately, there is a striking lack of consideration of mental illnesses, such as depression, that can cause or exacerbate such feelings. His evocations of the suffering he's dealt with, meanwhile, tend toward the perfunctory, as when he depicts envy as the feeling of someone being angry that others have nice vehicles while he's "struggling to buy teenager a decent car." Giglio writes glowingly about his vision of God's plan for each person, but his encouraging words fail to rise above simple platitudes.

Breaking Strongholds
What an amazing book! It gave me scripture to meditate on, that is my sword in the battle of the mind. It provided me with promises that God has given me. Thank you Louie, for listening to God’s voice and writing this book.
Excellent
Excellent book that will help you strengthen your faith, take every thought captive, and ultimately keep your eyes on Jesus, no matter what you are facing. I have highlighted so many exceptional lines throughout the book, as the content was overflowing with golden nuggets. Honestly, this is such an important topic for all Christians. Too often, we allow the enemy to invite himself to our table, our lives, and our minds. It is time to take a stand. Jesus, our Good Shepherd, is there beside us. We need only to turn our focus to Him, and He will help us overcome this battle.
