"Finding Peace" - Chapter Six

I have now finished chapter six of this book.  It was probably the best chapter I have encountered in the entire book so far.  The title of this chapter is "How Your Thought Life Affects Your Peace" and it addresses seven categories of thoughts that will destroy your peace.

1.  Sinful thoughts
2.  Self-Limiting Thoughts
3.  Erroneous Thoughts
4.  Unrealistic Thoughts
5.  Rebellious Thoughts
6.  Obsessive Thoughts
7.  Enslaved Thoughts

Now if you think that you already know what is contained in the discussion on any of these seven categories of thoughts, you may need to think again.  When I began this chapter, I skimmed through the headings and thought that I knew what to expect from several of the categories.  But, what I found what the in each and every one of these categories, there were things that I would never have thought of.  There is also very good advice on how to handle each of these "thought" problems.

This was a chapter that I will re-visit  when I complete the book and make several notes from, no doubt.  I do not like to mark in my books;  otherwise, I would have highlighted many passages in this chapter.

On to Chapter Seven - I will post again when I complete the chapter.
