7 decisions you can make today for the God-honoring life you want tomorrow

"Do you ever wonder why you keep making the same bad choices, even though you tell yourself it will be different next time? In Think Ahead, pastor Craig Groeschel draws on biblical truth and scientific research to help us learn the power of "pre-deciding" big and small choices so we can discover new joy, freedom, and contentment"--, Provided by publisher"Why do we keep making choices we later regret--sometimes even the same bad choices over and over? Drawing on Scripture, story, and cutting-edge research into human behavior, pastor Craig Groeschel reveals the key to making the choices we want to make and experiencing the joy and freedom God has for us. We all want to make great decisions. So what happens between our good intentions and the choices we actually make in the moment? If only we could make decisions ahead of time rather than when we're under stress, overwhelmed, or swayed by fear or emotion. In Think Ahead, we learn how to do just that. Pastor Craig Groeschel knows from personal experience and as a counselor to others what being trapped in a cycle of poor decision-making is like. In Think Ahead, he shares what he has discovered about the power of "pre-deciding." With thought-provoking exercises and questions for reflection, this interactive book teaches us that the quality of our decisions determines the quality of our lives. Think Ahead will help you: Understand the science behind your decision-making habits. Overcome decision fatigue and debilitating fears. Diminish the role of emotions in decision-making. See how your small choices shape the kind of person you become. Define and put into action the seven life-defining pre-decisions you can make today. Becoming the person you want to be starts before you even make a decision. In Think Ahead, you'll discover the power of making decisions today to help you live the life you want to have tomorrow"--, Provided by publisher
