Renewing Your Mind: Living Life Intentionally

Renewing Your Mind: Living Life Intentionally, Second Edition, by Daniel Lafleur (book cover)

What if the missing piece in your walk with God is hidden in plain sight?

For about two decades, I went to church, read Christian books and heard countless sermons. Yet I still felt something was missing.

For years, I had read about the love, joy and peace Scripture describes as fruit of the Spirit. I believed those things were real. But for a long time, they seemed painfully absent from my life.

What I found was no secret at all. It had been in God’s Word all along. I simply hadn’t learned how to put the pieces together.

Then one day I was walking down the street and caught myself smiling.
Nothing particularly remarkable was happening.
I was just smiling.
And that was unusual enough that I noticed.

My circumstances hadn’t changed.
Something in me had.

In Renewing Your Mind, I share what I discovered, so you can begin putting those same pieces together in your own life. Chapter by chapter, we’ll look at how the truth you already believe can shape the way you think, love, respond and live, and how to put it into practice in everyday life.

God is the One who transforms us. Scripture invites us to take part.

You were never meant to spend your Christian life simply knowing what is true. You were meant to live it.

What Christian Leaders Are Saying

“Lafleur gets to the core of what it truly means to renew your mind through Christ.”

Shawn Jones, Director of I Am Second — Canada

“‘Renewing Your Mind’ by Daniel Lafleur is a down to earth scriptural map, directing us to move towards the person God saw in us when He called us. It gives direction and challenges many false ideas with bible truths.”

Bob Narraway, Pastor, West Ottawa Community Church

“This book presents the real experience of biblical truth above mere academic study… moving readers toward a deep relationship with Christ.”

Thomas Kartzmark, Chaplain — Ottawa International Airport

Hear From Readers

These conversations were recorded at the last session of our first ten-week pilot group, after the group had read and discussed the book together.

“This is the first book I actually read cover to cover.”
Greg McDonald, pilot group participant
“It answers the ‘now what.’”
Bob Narraway, Pastor, West Ottawa Community Church

What’s Inside

The whole book is built on one verse:

“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”

Romans 12:2 NLT

Its nine chapters take that verse into nine areas of everyday life:

  • Renewing your mind
  • Renewing your love
  • Renewing your identity
  • Renewing your purpose
  • Renewing your hope
  • Renewing your faith
  • Renewing your gratitude
  • Renewing your joy and peace
  • Living life intentionally

Each chapter is rooted in Scripture and written to be applied, not only read.

About the Author

I’m the founder of Renewing Your Mind Discipleship Ministry. I wrote this book out of my own experience of knowing biblical truth without consistently living it, and I still find myself challenged by it each time I prepare to teach it.

What Will You Do With the Truth You Know?

The book closes with that question. If you recognize a distance between the biblical truth you know and the way you consistently live it, The Gap is a good place to continue.
