Description and Reviews
From The Publisher:

This book is comparable to the Prayer of Jabez, in that it takes a biblical principle and helps enlighten readers how one simple truth can affect a wide area of one’s life. Ultimately, this book will help readers fulfill their destiny as purposeful children of God by embracing the message of Philippians 4:8.

Better health. A more successful career. A stronger marriage. A purpose-filled life. They’re all within your reach. Each moment is a fresh start . . . when you change the way you think!

What are you thinking about? Research indicates that the average person thinks approximately 50,000 thoughts per day. Each thought moves you either toward your God-given potential or away.

Unfortunately, we live in a society bent on nursing old wounds and highlighting what is wrong with just about everything. As a result, we have grown accustomed to viewing the world, our lives, and ourselves through a lens of negativity—and that negativity stands in direct contrast to the passionate, purpose-filled people God wants us to be.

In Philippians 4:8, the apostle Paul challenges us to seek out and dwell on the positives in our lives. When used as a filter, this New Testament verse is the true secret to vibrant health, satisfying relationships, and lasting fulfillment.

Whether you are at a low point or a high point in your life, The 4:8 Principle can help you experience joy by design—God’s design. You’ll quickly discover life as it was meant to be!

Unleash the power of the 4:8 Principle today! It really is the secret to a joy-filled life!
