Get Out of Your Head: Stopping the Spiral of Toxic Thoughts by Jennie Allen (2020)
Get Out of Your Head focuses on the everyday battles we fight in our minds. It works from the premise that how we think shapes how we live. Using God’s truth as the point of focus, Allen explores lessons from her own journey out of toxic spirals of negative thinking and gives clear, actionable steps towards winning your war. This war between truth and lies, hope and doubt, God and the enemy, is already won, and Allen reminds us to claim the victory in and out of our head. If you're looking for a book on biblical approaches to ending negative thinking and facing your fears, this is the one for you!
Holier Than Thou by Jackie Hill Perry (2021)
Perry is a poet, speaker, and author who uses all of her creative muscles to present a sound meditation on the holiness of God. Her premise is that God is trustworthy because of his inability to be anything other than holy. This characteristic is not just an attribute, but a state of being that allows us to lean whole-heartedly on him. If you’re looking to go deeper in understanding who God is and how we faithfully relate to him in light of his holiness, Perry’s prose will take you all the way there.

“Your fears and insecurities may have changed how you viewed God, others, and yourself, but in Woman Evolve, you can break through and use past mistakes to revolutionize your life. Like Eve, you don’t have to live your future defined by your past.” - Thomas Nelson
