There are a couple of ways that I’m
trying to allow my will, my mind, my life, to be bent to the Master’s. One of
them is the things I do in my chosen field of ministry. And the other has to do
with some self-improvement stuff that I’ve been involved with for the past 40
years. So the title of this book
fascinated me. But I found Lance Hahn’s The Master’s Mind: The Art of Reshaping Your
Thoughts (W Publishing Group, 2107) to be a bit of a disappointment. I want
my will aligned with the will of God, and it makes sense that since, as we read
in Isaiah: Isa 55:8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your
ways my ways," (NIV)
This
book is one I picked to review because I was fascinated by the title; but for
some reason, I had a difficult time following the train of thought of the
author. I don’t think he was off base scripturally, (and since he’s a pastor, I
would hope he would be on track here). There was a lot of good information and
examples provided about how negative thoughts often lead to negative actions,
and why the Master would prefer positivity over negativity. But…
When I say
it was a difficult read, I don’t meant that it was too deep from me to
comprehend, but rather that it was rather dry for my tastes. Additionally I
didn’t find anything new to stimulate my thought processes. Others may not have
been exposed to some of the things Pastor Hahn writes about, but for me it was
a rehash of things I’ve read about in many other places.
I
received a copy of this book from HANDLEBAR in exchange for an unbiased review.
3/5
