I’m Giving Away some Unsinkable Faith
Sometimes I find myself right smack in the middle of some STINKIN’ THINKING!
I wrote an entire Chapter called UNSTUCK THOUGHTS in my book Life Unstuck. Even after THAT, the truth is…I still do it!
We ALL find our faith SINKING from time to time! Right?!!
For many people, remaining optimistic and feeling positive about themselves and their lives is a constant battle — especially when circumstances are difficult and life is hard.
For others, negativity is something that only sneaks up from time to time, yet still wreaks havoc in their hearts.
Regardless of the root causes, once pessimistic thoughts permeate our minds, our feelings and emotions begin to control us instead of us controlling them. Eventually it doesn’t seem possible to stay positive, happy, and full of joy, and negative thought patterns shake our faith, causing us to sink emotionally, mentally, and spiritually over time. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Despite what storms roll in, hearts anchored in God don’t sink. When we change the way we think, we can change the way we feel and live, even if our circumstances remain the same.
Intentionally embracing the opportunity to experience a transformed heart and a renewed mind opens the door for a changed life, because a positive mind will always lead to a more positive life.
In her new book Unsinkable Faith, my friend, author and Proverbs 31 Ministries speaker Tracie Miles offers hope for women who struggle with negativity. Each chapter explores Tracie’s and other women’s personal stories, showing how they rose above their circumstances by transforming and renewing their minds. Unsinkable Faith is a breath of fresh air for anyone longing for a heart full of joy, an unbreakable smile, and a new, more optimistic perspective on life. This book will equip you to:
- Replace pessimism with positive thinking by becoming the captain of your thoughts;
- Learn how true joy and happiness are based on choice, not circumstances;
- Overcome unhealthy habits of negative thinking by intentionally implementing three easy mind-renewing steps;
- Stop feeling hopeless and pitiful, and start feeling hope-filled and powerful instead; and
- Discover that when you change the way you think, you change the way feel, and in turn you can change your life completely.

I struggle with negativity all day long at work. Tensions run very high right now throughout the day, and that negatively impacts so many employees. Those sour emotions work like yeast in a batch of dough – just oozes from desk to desk. Before you know it, I’m right smack dab in the middle of it and my heart spirals downward. When I should be the very one bringing Jesus to the center of it, I find myself wallowing in all the disappointed situations. Being on purpose – reminding myself to take every though captive – I know I can change things around ~ simply by being a Light in the midst of all that seems very dark right now. This book would be a great read to help me refocus.
I would love to give this book to my husband. He was diagnosed last year with NMO, an auto-immune disease with no cure. A strong man of faith, yet this has really challenged him.
I would welcome the opportunity to read Unsinkable Faith. Over the past two and a half years, I have been through a difficult season, spiritually, physically, emotionally, and mentally. In 2013, after 5 months of not feeling well, I was diagnosed with a benign tumor on my parathyroid gland. I experienced symptoms of anxiety, gut issues, acid reflux, and depression. I went through several blood tests, but no one was catching the high calcium levels on my blood work. I was also going through the change of life and couldn’t sleep. I left my job, due to stress and fatigued adrenals. Grief and sorrow hit me when 5 people I was close to passed away within the following year…one being my dad. BUT GOD, I’ m moving forward by faith and I thank GOD, I’m not where I was.
I’ve struggled with stinking thinking for most of my life. I have to say that due to some amazing people, my pastors and circle of friends that surround me, and the study of the word and keeping it in front of me I’ve gotten better but it seems that just when I think I’m good, it starts up again…
My husbands answer to this is “if you just trust God you wont have to think those things and be so stressed about them” which is not what I need to hear…
My answer to him is” I do trust Him and I dont know why I feel this way”… He just doesnt understand.
I think that any resource that would help me in this area would be amazing and it looks like it’s a very good one.
I want to think better and feel better..
Thank you for sharing such amazing resources with us.

I struggle with negativity frequently. I need to focus more on the realization that by changing the way I think, I can change the way I feel and change my life.
Thanks for giving us this opportunity to win.i would love to read this book to help increase my faith and make me more hopeful
I am learning to walk more consistently in my relationship with the Father as a “son” vs an orphan mentality. Life changing! I met with a woman this morning who too often is stuck in the past and then old feelings become current feelings and she is tormented by the old way of thinking. I’d love to see this book in her hands, and these truths enter her heart.
Mine would have to be “Stop feeling hopeless and pitiful.” I have severe clinical depression and it is so hard not to fall in that hole some times. I want to learn to be joyful, and to teach my son to be joyful as well. I can’t do that if I let myself feel depressed all the time.
