O My Soul: A Biblical Exploration of Soul-Talk - Tapa blanda

Why I wrote O My Soul: I had struggled for some time to learn to bring my thoughts into captivity to Jesus Christ, as we are admonished in 2 Corinthians 10:5. It became apparent in my study of God's Word that those who managed to so discipline their minds talked, not to themselves, but to their immortal soul. Over a period of four or five years, I collected an astounding list of Bible passages about soul-talk and began to understand that when my soul is blessing God, I cannot be complaining, worrying, or arguing. However, I cannot bless the Lord until I cast down thoughts that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God. After I rebuke those wicked ideas, I can talk to my soul in biblical phrases somewhat like praying the words of Scripture back to God. I felt compelled to share the results of this spiritual journey with others who struggle in their thought life as I have.
