Set Your Mind On Biblical Truth
Throughout each day, we are bombarded by the temporal value system and "advertising" of the world through the things we see, hear, and read. Television... Radio... Email... Websites...
Because of these non-stop attempts to get into our wallets and take our attention off what really matters, it is EXTREMELY important that we renew our minds with the eternal value system of God's Word so that each day we regain focus on the important issues of who we are, why we are here, and where we are going.
A very helpful habit is reading affirmations from God's Word each night before going to sleep. "Handbook To Renewal" is highly recommended for this purpose and personally used by author/speaker Os Hillman in this way.
It is a compilation by Kenneth Boa of hundreds of affirmations derived from Scripture in an easy-to-read format so you can renew your mind with Biblical truth on a nightly basis. Each night, the readings are structured around five kinds of affirmations from Scripture: The Attributes of God, The Works of God, My Relationship to God, The Character I Want to Cultivate, and My Relationship to Others.
The book is small and slim making it ideal for travel. Bound in blue leather with gilded edges and a ribbon bookmark, it is attractive, durable, and a great gift idea.

Handbook To Renewal is a devotional tool I use almost daily in my quiet time with God. It is an unusual compilation of scriptures that feed the soul in four ways. First, there is a listing of scriptures on the Attributes of God; then a listing of scriptures on the Works of God; then a listing of scriptures related to my Relationship with God. The fourth segment provides scriptures on the Character I want to develop. The author has made the scriptures to read in first person so that I personalize the reading and application of the scripture. The entire book is only scripture, so you are meditating on the Word of God. I highly recommend this devotional resource. And because it is leatherbound, slim, and digest size, it is great for travel. Also makes a great gift for those in the workplace.
