Do you ever wonder why you keep making the same bad choices, even though you tell yourself it will be different next time? In Think Ahead, pastor Craig Groeschel draws on biblical truth and scientific research to help us learn the power of 'pre-deciding' big and small choices so we can discover new joy, freedom, and contentment.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Experience the joy, freedom, and fulfilment God wants for you by learning the key to making God-glorifying choices: the power of pre-decision.

What if we actually have the ability to break free from the pitfalls of impulsive decisions and develop positive, godly habits? What if becoming the person you want to be starts now, before you make a decision?

Craig Groeschelβ€”author of Winning the War in Your Mindβ€”will empower you to put into action seven life-defining pre-decisions that will help you overcome the daily temptations, distractions, and influences that constantly bombard us. Drawing on Scripture, story, and the latest research into human behaviour, Think Ahead will help you:

  • Understand the science behind your decision-making habits.
  • Equip you with the tools to avoid sinful and damaging patterns.
  • Overcome decision fatigue and debilitating fears.
  • See how your small choices shape the kind of Christ-follower you become.

Pastor Craig knows from personal experience and as a counsellor to others what it's like to feel stuck or overwhelmed. Think Ahead is your playbook for defining and putting into action seven life-defining, God-glorifying "I will" statements that you can make today to prepare you for your big moments tomorrow.
