Book Review: Crash the Chatterbox by Steven Furtick
Book Review: Crash the Chatterbox by Steven Furtick
Crash the Chatterbox is about hearing God above all the self-talk “chatter” of thoughts in your head.
It is based on the fact that we tend to believe certain categories of lies via our thoughts, either our own thoughts, or from outside sources such as the world or the enemy. These four basic truths vs. lies are: God says I am…God says He will…God says He has…and God says I can. The book is divided into these four sections. This seems to be a glorification or expansion of believing the two main truths of who God is and who God says I am.
Overall I found this book to be pleasant to read with smooth transitions between topics. There were plenty of truly interesting stories that tied in with the author’s points.
This book also contained authenticity, truth, appropriate humorous breaks, and scriptures to tie things together. Also included was a section in the back for discussion questions.
There were several useful life lessons but most of all I appreciated the included actionable how-to answers to some of the “problems” associated with all the “chatter” going on in our heads. It was not all talk about what was wrong but had what to do about it, which is sometimes missing in books of this type!
Even though this author is very young compared to me, he has a lot of wisdom and he likes to draw heavily on his parenting experience in his illustrations, of which I could relate to, being a mother and now grandmother myself.
If you need help with your thought life or you think you may be believing lies about yourself or God (who isn’t?), check this book out.
