The subtitle for this book is "Clean Living in a Contaminated World", and it is must read material for the Body of Christ. Pastor Groeschel deals with relevant topics such as identifying false beliefs; the power of your words and thoughts; toxic behaviors, emotions, relationships and influences; healthy boundaries; legalistic religion; forgiveness and bitter roots.
Our culture is saturated with beliefs and behaviors that are counter-productive to the blessings that come from living life in a God-ordained way. We have great freedom in Christ, but many of the freedoms available to us culturally and socially do not truly bring life to us, nor do they have long-term value.
The mind is the primary battlefield for spiritual growth and transformation and this is why Soul Detox is so needed. Here are some of my favorite quotes from the book:
"The longer we view ourselves through a distorted lens, the more likely we are to believe a distorted truth."
"We trust money to make us significant because we don't know who we are in Christ. And we believe money will make us secure because we trust money more than we trust Christ."
"You are not a victim of your thoughts. You have the power through Christ to take them captive."
"When our moods and emotional needs depend on acquiring more possession, more money, more toys, then we're in for a toxic shock when we find our hands full and our hearts empty."
"When we truly change what we believe, we'll gladly change how we behave."
"Rather than sinking into the quicksand of sin, you can swim into the clean water of God's forgiveness and cleansing love."
"If we think that we deserve the object of our desire more than the person who has it, our jealously blossoms into envy."
"We will never discover lasting happiness, significance and security in the temporary things of this world because we weren't made to live a temporary life."
For too long the church has lost the effectiveness of it s witness due to the muddling of a cultural worldview with a Biblical worldview. Fruitful, influential and powerful living is available to every Believer who learns to live every day with an eternal perspective, and it starts with detoxing your soul.
This book includes a good assortment of scripture references for individual study. There are also helpful suggestions and examples of what the practical application of those scriptures look like. Soul Detox is a good source of self-examination for conviction, refinement and spiritual growth. I highly recommend you add this book to your reading library - you'll be glad you did!
By way of disclosure: I received a free review copy of "Soul Detox" by Craig Groeschel from Zondervan in exchange for writing a review--good, bad, or otherwise.

I was so excited to pick up this book. I had already been feeling the need to purify my life and get back to the basics. This book was just what I needed!
We often wonder why we are walking around with a ho-hum feeling about life in general. Could it be that our souls are polluted? Maybe we're desensitized to the toxins that surround us. Maybe we need to detox. In the introduction, Groeschel tells a story that convicted my soul and motivated me to take an inventory of exactly what and who I am letting in. "Like a muddied spring or a polluted well are the righteous who give way to the wicked." Proverbs 25:26
The book goes on to explore all of the different areas where we are susceptible to contamination in our lives. Some areas were really eye-opening for me.
If you're considering a soul detox and are wondering why you feel a little muddy inside, this book is for you! Learn to overcome toxic thoughts, words, actions, emotions, habits, influences, people and even religion. This is a great read, but more than that, it can change the way you think, speak, act and live!

This book is a must read for anyone living in our culture today. It's not a list of do's and don't's to detox your soul but a close examination of what influences and emotions you are allowing to pollute your mind, will, and emotions. It will step on your toes and force you to ask yourself some really tough questions, but in the end, if you let the truth of what God is telling you shine through the book, your heart and soul will never be the same.
