The Mind Of Christ is a life-changing study of the beattitudes and Phillipians 2:4-12. I was encouraged and learned such practical application of this small portion of scripture to my life. It indeed changed me and my thinking and I have begun to do this study again. I encourage anyone who wants to grow in the Lord to do this study. You will certainly be blessed and learn more than you ever thought possible.

Like other reviewers, my copy of The Mind of Christ has been highlighted so many times, the pages look like they are in technicolor. Which is appropriate for how enlightening I found this book. T. W. Hunt uses examples from the lives of real people (including himself) to illustrate the life-changing principles taught, and lived, by Jesus. It helped me unlock not just the power of prayer, but the power of actually living the life of an empowered Christian. As a man thinketh in his heart, so also shall he live. I was particularly moved by Pastor Hunt's vivid description of the betrayal, trial, death and resurrection of Christ. Throughout his book, Pastor Hunt shows that our life won't always be fun and games, that real troubles come to one and all, but that having the Mind of Christ can help us successfully come through the rough (and good) times. Thank you for a helpful, inspirational book! Blessings to you!

If you are new to Christianity or just trying to learn more about Christianity, this book may not be a good choice. The Mind of Christ is a very convicting book that could scare the immature Christian or potential Christian yet-to-be. The idea of becoming like Christ with our thoughts and actions is uncomfortable to most of us. This book forces the reader to think about the stengths and weaknesses in ourselves, how Satan uses our weaknesses against us, and how we can use our strengths for God's will. The book will step the reader through a process of evaluating his/her sins, then lay a foundation that will help the reader prepare to combat these sins one-by-one. The Mind of Christ: The Transforming Power of Thinking His Thoughts is Bible-based and uncompromising. I read it in less than 3 hours on an east-bound flight to New York while sitting next to a member of the Kennedy family (who will remain nameless). He was inquisitive about the book so I took the opportunity to witness to him about Jesus Christ and how the secular world has so often misunderstood what is said in the Bible and that the Bible is the key to understanding the mind of Christ; the only perfect role model for us all.

This is a book that you need to take time/days/weeks/months to study, hand-in-hand with the bible. The Holy Spirit will convict you on what ever sins or weeds that need to be pulled from your garden.(mind) The lists that are recommended by Hunt, are an awesome tool to really get at those sinful thoughts and wants. Pray for courage to be fully honest with your thoughts and allow the Holy Spirit to do the awesome transformation of your mind and heart- to be closer to the our Savior.

This book is at the top of my "highly recommended" reading list. But, you don't just read this book - you get lost in it. The truths that are written within this book make you stop and pause in wonder. There is much to meditate and reflect on as you take in the words. A must read!

I continue to read this book over and over. I get something new each time. I have underlined so many parts of the book that when I recommend it to my friends and family they comment that it's time to get a new copy. I plan to get copies of the book for several friends this Christmas. I thought that I had it all until I began to read this book. If you want to know where you stand in your walk with God, just read this book,you will read it, and read it again and again.

I titled this review Expose because I think this is just what this book does. It exposes your inner nature. This is not for the NEW Christian. It would be a bit overwhelming.

As I went through the workbook I began to learn my pattern and ways of thinking. The book urges us or suggests ways that we can began to be more Christ-minded and it breaks down through scriptures Jesus Christ's ways of thinking. The author even gave some examples of his personal life experiences. There are activites in there that you can do to help you see your thought patterns. I think it made me more aware of how I really am. It's a growing tool for a Christian's walk, I would say, which is a lifetime process. Definitely a keeper that you can hold onto and refer to from time to time to re-evaluate where you stand and sort of check yourself.

I highly recommend if you are tired of drinking milk and are ready for solid food! Even for the seasoned saints out there, it really makes you check yourself if you allow yourself to be transformed and renewed.

This book is a must have for any believer, regardless of how long they have been saved. The reality is that many believers do not clearly understand their responsibilities after the initial salvation experience. This book can help to save young believers from making many unnecessary mistakes in their walk with God as a result of ignorance and can strengthen the faith of the more mature ones by helping them to take a closer look at where they are and where they need to go (to be transformed by the renewing of the mind). Ultimately, the Holy Spirit will highlight areas that the reader should pay attention to, so one does not have to worry about a new convert being overwhelmed with the content.

I wish I found, studied and diligently applied the principles found in this book many years ago.

The book is so very challenging in my Christian walk. A pen and pad should be kept on hand because there isn't enough room in the margin to write facts, opinions, thoughts, challenges, references, etc. A great study book, too! Loved what I received and am so blessed. Later, I found another copy at the Salvation Army (paperback) so I can write all over it! Will help one walk in victory. Amazing what one can learn when challenged.
