Praise for
Get Out of Your Head
This is a must-have resource for anyone looking to get control of thoughts that sometimes spin out of control. Get Out of Your Head is the book we all need to help us do this. Its so easy to park our minds in bad spotsto dwell on and rehash and wish things were different. But to obsess over hard things only deepens our emotional emptiness. I love how Jennie helps us see how unhealthy thoughts can be overcome by our faith, starting right now.
L YSA T ER K EURST , #1 New York Times best-selling author and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries
I know from personal experience just how easily our thoughts try to hijack our faith and throw us into a negative spiral. Get Out of Your Head will equip you with practical biblical tools to take control of your thoughts so they dont control you.
C HRISTINE C AINE , best-selling author and founder of A21 and Propel Women
My wife, Heather, and I both read this book and were deeply helped by it. Get Out of Your Head is packed full of truth and insight from Gods Word, personal vulnerability and honesty from Jennie, and practical wisdom and encouragement for all of us. I pray and believe that God will use it to guard your heart and mind in Christ.
D AVID P LATT , pastor of McLean Bible Church and best-selling author of Something Needs to Change
Sometimes the only barrier to our personal and spiritual growth is our thinking. Jennie Allens new book gives us all hope and shows us how to deal with the negative thoughts that stifle and paralyze us. We need to be reminded daily of how to take every thought captive and surrender to the only One who can free us. This book is a beautiful reminder that God is at work in all the messiness of our minds. God beckons us to get out of our heads and practice daily presence and rest with Him.

The battle between your ears determines how you win at life. And I can testify, because of how shes personally fought for me and generations of women around the globe, there is no better faith fighter, Word warrior, and soul defender than Jennie Allen, who makes herself your personal trainer in these practical, transformational pages, alight with holy fire. She shows you how to take down anxiety, take back the mental high ground, and take more territory for the kingdom. Get out your highlighter, and get ready to gain the victory. You are about to get out of your head and get to where your heart has always hoped to be.
A NN V OSKAMP , New York Times best-selling author of The Broken Way and One Thousand Gifts
You know those books you buy twenty copies of and then forcefully give to everyone you know? Yeah, this is one of those books. Hands down. Powerful. Prophetic. Necessary.
J EFFERSON B ETHKE , New York Times best-selling author of Jesus > Religion
Someone might read the title of Jennie Allens latest book Get Out of Your Head: Stopping the Spiral of Toxic Thoughts and casually assume that its sort of a pop-psychology just think positive thoughts and youll be fine kind of book. If so, theyd be making a wrong assumption. This substantive and probing book faithfully engages the reader with truths about the Bible, theology, science, spiritual disciplines, mental health, and, ultimately, about following Jesus. With honesty and vulnerability in sharing her own confessions and struggles, Jennie has written a book that I truly believe will challenge, bless, and empower all those who read it.
R EV. E UGENE C HO, founder of One Days Wages and author of Thou Shalt Not Be a Jerk
Jennie Allen speaks so powerfully to this generation and teaches us so simply how to not allow our limitations to be our loudest story. Jesus > us. His desire is that we get out of our heads and live profound lives of freedom for His glory.
S HELLEY G IGLIO, cofounder of Passion Conferences and Passion City Church
Im so glad Jennie tackles a difficult topic that so many of us face. Renewing our mind is essential for a life of flourishing with God. These pages hold clear action items to help you get out of your head and on to the journey of walking free.
R EBEKAH L YONS, author Rhythms of Renewal
What a timely message! In Get Out of Your Head, my friend and mentor Jennie Allen does a beautiful job of taking your hand, leading you to those places in your mind that need healing, and allowing space for Jesus to break chains. I recommend this book to everyoneespecially our generation!
S ADIE R OBERTSON, New York Times best-selling author, speaker, and founder of Live Original
Jennie Allen has been a trusted voice in my life for years. She is wise and kind and loves Jesus with a contagious passion rarely found. Shes also fearsome in the way she loves people and engages difficult issues. Youre going to find a boatload of love and truth in these pages. This book wont just change the way you think; it will alter the way you live.
