This book captured my attention when it was selected by Beth Moore for the 2009 Summer Bible Study. I purchased seven copies and found some friends to join me in the study. Since I also wrote a blog about the book [...] I found myself going deeper into my faith and inside my own thought closet. The study began with a gentle "spring cleaning" of my thoughts and ended with a "wardrobe makeover." I was shocked to learn about the thoughts that were driving my decisions and thoughts that were not centered around God. The book showed me the thoughts behind my lukewarm faith and gave the tools I needed to claim a burning faith for God. I recommend this book for women who feel something is wrong in their lives, but cannot center on the root of their problems. The book is a discovery of self and a transformation towards faith centered thinking. Buy it today and refresh your thought closet.

We women are so guilty of "not thinking about what we're thinking about." This book helped me to focus on the frequently destructive thoughts rambling around in my mind--and to replace those thoughts with God's truth. I am so thankful I went through this workbook with a study group from my church. It has changed me for the better. "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he."

At first glance, this seems like a simple Bible study. However, as you work through the chapters and are forced to think about what you think about...all I can say is OUCH. Life changing, enlightening, painful and joyous. I highly recommend the study, but only if you are prepared to be honest with yourself !

Me, Myself and Lies is a practical 6-week Bible study that will help you:

*Uncover lies you have subconciously been believing & replace them with biblical truth

*Understand your identity in Christ

*Learn to speak truth to yourself even when you don't feel it

*Invite Christ to be Lord of your mind & your source of aboslute Truth

*Readily navigate situations that previously caused emotional freak-outs with truth and grace

Jennifer Rothschild is a real and transparent teacher who walks you through the craziness of navigating your emotions as someone who has been there before. Unashamed to show you the ugly parts of her own life/emotions so you can learn from her mistakes, Rothschild's short homework assignments give you much to think about long after you shut the book each day.

I am recommending this book to everyone I know. It is an excellent resource.

This was one of the best Bible studies I've ever done. What a great subject and so needed in the church today...honesty from Rothschild and her insight is very encouraging, while tackling a tough subject that is very difficult for many of us to think about. I have struggled with body image issues especially and this Bible study was very helpful. I think that every woman would benefit from this study!

As I do with all my purchases, I read all the on this book before I bought it. First I need to tell you, you have to buy the CD with it, they don't mention that anywhere. But it helped me get over an "era" in my life and start a new way of thinking about myself.

It is difficult because you go thru the Bible and actually understand the power of words even in the first two pages of the workbook. Then you realize what you have been doing to yourself and...oops! cant give that away! you will have to buy the book!

This book has been very beneficial to me. It has allowed me to strengthen my faith and relationship with God in a way I did not think was possible before. I was always intimated by the thought of examining what I was actually thinking, but Jennifer makes it very approachable. She provides you with the tools and scriptures you need to refine your thought closet. I would recommend this book to all women!

I ordered this book in Feb 2010 after I recently decided to make some major lifestyle changes. This book was just what I needed to build a solid foundation for my spiritual growth. I loved every moment of it! I prayed. I read. I wrote notes. I read my Bible every day. I have since found myself a great group of christian ladies and regularly study my Bible and spend time in prayer. I continue to seek God's will in every aspect of my life. The book isn't going to magically transform anyone. You have to make the decision to seek the truth and God's will for you on your own. This book was a great tool to get me started on the right path. I am very happy with this purchase!

I've grown up in the church and been in countless Bible studies over the years; many of them excellent. THIS study, however, is the best one I have EVER done. Maybe it's because of where I'm at in my faith right now - struggling with some fundamental issues such as God's love, grace and forgiveness - but honestly, I drank up this study like it was a glass of cold lemonade after a 5 mile run. I cannot recommend it highly enough. The verses she lays out are all ones I was familiar with, and yet this study framed them in a way that made them deeply personal. This is a life-changing study.

This study was eye opening for a lot of the women doing this. It makes one aware of the distructive thought patterns that we all fall into. How we think is how we wardrobe ourselves.
