A Still and Quiet Mind: Twelve Strategies for Changing Unwanted Thoughts

“Creative and careful. Esther Smith's new book, A Still and Quiet Mind, directs a believer to use Scripture to speak truth to their unwanted and intrusive thoughts. Many of my counselees wrestle with untrue thoughts about themselves, the world, and the Lord. Esther has written a comprehensive and compassionate resource that they can engage as a workbook, which reorients their hearts to God's precious truths.”

“If you struggle with unwanted thoughts and don’t know what to do, this book is your answer.”

“Esther Smith has written the most practical and biblically faithful book on navigating unwanted thoughts that we have ever encountered.”

“Esther’s book brims with compassion and empathy and is full of practical exercises you will immediately want to implement.”

“Esther offers hope as she shares her own personal story and provides biblical narratives that show how the power of God’s Word can transform your thinking.”

“Have you ever noticed how much Scripture mentions the inner workings of our minds? “Thoughts” produces 46 results in the ESV. “Mind” has over 100 references. “Fear” is addressed 340 times. Long before “mental health” became a buzzword and the latest pandemic of anxiety and despair swept the globe, the God who wired our brains knew that we would need a lot of help with our thoughts. Seasoned counselor Esther Smith gleans these insights from Scripture to provide a mental first aid kit full of exercises that can be immediately put into practice. If your mind is filled with nagging annoyances, crippling dread, or sinful escape, we highly recommend spending time applying the strategies from A Still and Quiet Mind.”
