“Mind Change is a powerful tool by which we can amend our thinking to match God’s incredible promises for our lives. Your faith will be built as you learn more effective application of these scriptures in fighting doubts and fears that can control our thoughts and minds. Tom Jones did a great job in developing this overcomer’s handbook, and I highly recommend it as a vital weapon of defense as you engage in your daily spiritual battle.

“Many disciples who come into our office talk about this book and tell us how it changed their lives. It seems that almost everyone has read it! It is especially endearing because Tom was so open about his own struggles. Readers relate to someone who has been through what they have.”

“All my life I've been tormented with an endless tape of destructive words towards myself playing in my head. Just press play. Mind Change is God's practical way of showing me how to stop the tape, put in something new, refreshing and meaningful. It has taught me to overcome hurting myself and others whenever I decide to pick it up and read it again (and again). Tom is a living example of the words he writes!”

“Back in the mid '90s, Mind Change was the catalyst for me to start taking control of my live via taking control of my feelings, thoughts, and attitudes. To this day it is one of the best books I have ever read.”

“This book (literally) changed my life. I have never shared my faith with anyone without buying them a copy of this book.”

“Since I have trouble walking up and down the stairs, I ordered one for upstairs and one for downstairs.”

“When I have felt too weak to continue, too insignificant to make a difference or too discouraged to care, Mind Change has provided the guidance to hold onto God’s promises, his love and his glory…. Sometimes we just need to be “re-minded” about our great and loving and merciful God. Thanks, Tom, for reminding me.”

“Mind Change made an incredible impact on me. In fact, it changed my life and my perspective. I read it every day for six months until it became a part of my lifestyle, my prayer life. Any time I start going into those mindsets mentioned in the book, I always remind myself, ‘Yes—BUT—there is God.’”

“I was 45 yrs old when I became a Christian. Therefore I brought a lot of baggage with me. I read Mind Change off and on for the first 2 years as a Christian. I am a worrier by nature, and it helped me so much in seeing God bigger than my problems and that I was not alone in my thinking and feelings... “Every time I would slip back into my old worry nature, I would bring out Mind Change and read it again..."

“Mind Change has made such a difference in my life. I can't even begin to explain the importance of this book. As my disability has progressed and I am able to do fewer things independently, I am constantly reminded to rethink my attitude, and have a godly focus, realizing that I am given the opportunity to pray much more diligently and consistently…. It also reminds me to laugh and pray instead of getting frustrated.”
Karen Nurt

“Mind Change was a tremendous blessing in my life. I had been a Christian for several years before reading the book; however, I was still carrying quite a bit of emotional baggage from my childhood. As I read the book, I realized how much I had allowed my circumstances to shape my thinking. But when I read Tom's encouragement to learn that "God would not allow (my circumstances) if they were not opportunities for me to do something more important than I would have been doing without them," I felt a huge burden lifted from me and my heart began to soar. Thank you!!

“Mind Change has been a very powerful tool for my family. My husband and I have a blended family and there are some challenges that can accompany that. Mind Change has empowered us with many tools to help overcome those challenges! So much so, that I have based a small group around this book.”
Karen Miner
Frankfort, IL
"It is such an insightful and helpful book….It is one of the most specific and practical books I've read to help me see how much power God has given us to change our thinking, and therefore, our lives. Until we are able to change our thinking to the way God thinks, we will never be able to live the productive and fruitful lives God intended for us to live. Tom's example and attitude toward God and his life powerfully reinforce everything he says. It's a book that will benefit everyone who reads it."
Robyn Williams
Women’s Ministry Leader
Los Angeles
“Mind Change helped me so much 20 years ago when my husband and I got out of the full time ministry. The concepts taught in Mind Change helped me as we went through multiple job changes, stress in our marriage (even a brief separation), a house fire and really difficult financial times. Now we are happily and gratefully married almost 30 years with 3 great children!!
"Over and over again—I have had to make a mind change and overcome… I have worn out several copies of the book! As a nurse working with cancer patients and others who have to face severe challenges and life changes, it is a book I continue to recommend and give to others over and over.”
Brenda Murray
New York City
“The way Mind Change really helped me, is it helped me focus my mind, not on my disabilities but on God. And to realize that if I couldn't have the energy or the strength to do much, I could still pray for people. It taught me how to re-think and re-focus what I could do and not focus on the many things that I cannot do.”
Richard Nurt
Boston
“I have read Mind Change several times over the last ten years. The writer's use of heart-moving and life-healing scriptures makes it quite easy to get through. During times of challenge and sadness I have read parts of it to "buck myself up" and to receive the courage from God's word and the awareness that all problems are not going to last forever. I have purchased this book for others because it meets one's spiritual and emotional needs like few books I've read.”
