BOOK REVIEW: “Think This Not That” by Dr. Josh Axe

In 2025, the months of January, May, August, and October have five Fridays. I use those Fridays to publish media reviews: books, music, movies, blogs, podcasts, etc. These will be primarily, but not limited to, Christian media sources. Today we are highlighting Dr. Josh Axe’s latest book: Think This, Not That: 12 Mindshifts to Breakthrough Limiting Beliefs and Become Who You Were Born to Be.

 

 

 

 

 

 

What if the most powerful change you could make this year didn’t start with your diet or your to-do list—but your thoughts?

In Think This, Not That, Dr. Josh Axe offers a powerful reminder that what we believe drives how we live—and even how we heal. This faith-filled, science-backed book walks through the toxic thoughts that keep us stuck and invites us to exchange them for truth rooted in God’s Word.

Two mindset shifts especially resonated with me:

🧠Think Faith, Not Fear – Fear steals our peace, wrecks our health, and whispers worst-case scenarios. But faith? Faith anchors us in the truth that God is in control—even when we’re not. We can train our minds to trust, even in the storm.

🧠Think Forgiveness, Not Bitterness – Bitterness binds us to the past, while forgiveness releases us into freedom. Letting go doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt. It means we’re choosing healing over holding on—and that’s where God meets us.

Dr. Axe skillfully blends Scripture, neuroscience, and holistic health insights to help us reclaim our peace and renew our minds—one thought at a time. If you’re looking for a resource that speaks to both the soul and the body, this is a must-read.

Victory begins in the mind. Let’s choose our thoughts wisely—and invite God into every one.
