Think Like Jesus: Make the Right Decision Every Time
A study guide for the book by George Barna
If you are like most Christians today, nobody has ever taught you how to develop a Scripture-based view of life and how to live consistently with that perspective. This book – the results of years of research and the author’s own personal journey – presents a step-by-step program for making every choice consistent with God’s principles and commands. It shows you how to ask, and answer, “What would Jesus do if He were in my shoes right now?”
George Barna, founder and Directing Leader at the Barna Research Group that specializes in conducting primary research for Christian ministries and non-profit organizations, looks at the narrative of Jesus’ life and uncovers seven characteristics of His view of the world that worked together to facilitate what Jesus believed and how He acted. The author then considers the range of benefits emerging from thinking and acting this way. We are promised physical gain, emotional healing, superior decision-making, relational advantages, lifestyle enhancements, and spiritual health.
"But the real benefit of thinking like Jesus," the author says, "is that it applies to everything." Barna believes that whether the issue is cloning, divorce, vocation, voting, media content, relationships, or family issues – it doesn’t matter; it’s all covered when you start thinking His way.
If imitation is indeed the sincerest form of flattery, what better way is there to express your love for God than to commit yourself to thinking like Jesus?
What is the Character and Nature of God?
How and Why Was the World Created?
What is the Nature and Purpose of Humanity?
What Happens After We Die on Earth?
What Spiritual Authorities Exist?
