It’s like she's in my head! She really gets me!” That’s the thought that came to mind as I read and pored over this wonderful gem from Esther Smith. Taking the insights from countless hours of her counseling experience, Esther puts words to the inner workings of our minds in a way that allows us to think about our thoughts and bring them to the Lord. Esther’s book brims with compassion and empathy and is full of practical exercises you will immediately want to implement.

Thoughts can be mysterious. Determining where they come from and what they mean often triggers more distress than comfort. If you struggle with unwanted thoughts and don’t know what to do, this book is your answer. Every page arms readers with strategies that are both powerful and biblical and provides realistic direction that is grounded in the promises of the Lord’s care.

Esther Smith’s creative and careful new book, A Still and Quiet Mind, directs believers 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 to reorient their hearts to God’s precious truths.
