Soul Detox: Clean Living in a Contaminated World

Down to earth, back to,the Bible teaching. Very helpful and convicting. If you dislike religion and religiousness, then this book is for you. It puts things in perspective, takes out religion and points to God’s truths. If you read it wanting to grow and detox your soul, you have chosen well. You have to be willing to do true soul searching and then act.

Our staff having heard Craig Groeschel at the 2012 Global Leadership Summit Simulcast, all came up to me and said, "We need to read his new book: Soul Detox." Read it we did, and what a great read it is!As I began reading the opening chapters and looking at the toxic behaviors he was writing about I wondered, how are we going to work through all this? We did so with great conversation and input. That's what's great about this book, it is awesome stand alone read, but it's even better and life changing when processed with a group.Dealing with Toxic Behaviors, Toxic Emotions, and Toxic Influences, Craig does so with a humorous way, a Biblical way, an honest look and a path directed towards clean living in a contaminated world.At times the book was like looking in the mirror and saying, "Man, you got work to do." The book showed the flaws and failures of my life. Even more Craig showed the path of forgiveness and a new way of life. The stories he shared of real life people dealing with some horrific situations and the contrast between being overwhelmed by the toxins of life and even better overcoming the toxins of life were powerful.As a communicator and a leader, my favorite chapter was Chapter 3: Lethal Language: Experiencing the Power of Life Giving Words. When I am at my worst, my words can be cutting and condescending. When I am at my best, my words are encouraging and life building. Craig challenged me to look at how I use my words and to put more thought into each word that I say.I give Soul Detox 5 out of 5 stars. It was a great staff read, even more it was a much needed personal read. As Craig says, "When we recognize the toxins that assault us daily, and discover ways to live in this world without absorbing these toxins into our souls, we can experience the ultimate spiritual intervention!" Thanks Craig for helping me to recognize my own toxins, and even more for experiencing the transformation that happens when I discover God's plan for clean living in a contaminated world.

WE used this book for a bible class for a season and the results were phenomenal. Each person had an eye opening experience and is now walking toxic free.

It’s a book. The topic and choice of author is subjective to the reader.

This book is incredible. It is so raw and real. Must read if you’re interested in living a godly lifestyle!

I got this book and then many more for a small group. One of the group members said it goes beyond teaching and gets into meddling. This was meant in a kind way because this book will help "weed out" some of the things most Christians do and shouldn't.A member who had just finished a "substance abuse" expensive therapy four week class has enjoyed and benefited from this book a lot. This person has facilitated a couple of our meetings on one of the chapters and it has been some of the best meetings our group has ever had.Highly recommend getting the book and the excellent Participant Guide that is also available.

Great book!

I LOVED this book so much! Craig Groeschel injected his great humor into what is an amazing book about clearing out toxic things in your life, and no topic was taboo - fears, self-talk, people, movies, books, porn. And I love that he is so transparent about things in his own life so he never comes off as “judgey” or “holier than thou”; he only wants to help you have a closer relationship with God - and it’s all about the relationship not religion. I’m ready to read it again!

Excellent book!! Very good read. Certainly worth the price! It's in good physical condition and arrived fast. As it said there will be marks in it, so every page has notes and writing in it but it is still perfectly readable and saved money from buying new! The person that previously had it even made good notes, so it is interesting as well!

Every Christian should read this book at whatever stage they are in their journey. The author's style of writing makes it so easy to read and because of this, as well as his humour and personal confessions, it is difficult to put down.The subjects that are covered affect us all, and they provoke thought about your own circumstances and reasoning. I think this is a book that should be read over and over again periodically as a reminder of how to cleanse the soul of the grime of the world.

What a great book! I fully appreciate Craig's "say it as it is" style. I found this book challenging and extremely helpful. It confirmed to me things God has been showing and teaching me recently, and I highly recommend it. If you truly want the transforming life that Jesus offers you, then this book is a great place to start!

One of the best books and DVD series I've ever had our Church do. We did this as a series for our Ladies and also our Men's group. The Videos are available for free on Youtube. This book really helps you deal with Soul Wounds etc. and get to the root of the things that are troubling you. Highly recommend this book

This hits close to home. This book is going to change you if you read it with an open heart!
