The Devoted Mind: Seeking God's Face in a World of Distraction (Kris Lundgaard)

Description

Do you feel overwhelmed? Discontented? Weary? These are symptoms of a distracted mind—a mind fixed on passing earthly things.

Guided by the rich wisdom of Puritan theologian John Owen, Kris Lundgaard presents a countermeasure to our distraction: the devoted mind. By seeking those things above, where Christ is, we can have hope in all circumstances, know contentment in any situation, and enjoy deep communion with God that makes life worth living.

Deep, meditative, and compelling, The Devoted Mind invites us to draw nearer to Christ as he draws near to us. Its eleven brief but profound chapters each conclude with exercises to guide the mind-work and heart-work you need to grow. Let us devote our minds to contemplating God and find our worship renewed.
