The visionary behind the million-strong IF:Gathering challenges you to exercise your God-given power to shift negative thinking patterns and take back control of your thoughts and emotions.
Are your thoughts holding you captive? I’ll never be good enough. Other people have better lives than I do. God couldn’t really love me. Jennie Allen knows what it’s like to swirl in a spiral of destructive thoughts, but she also knows we don’t have to stay stuck in toxic thinking patterns.
As she discovered in her own life, God built a way for us to escape that downward spiral. Freedom comes when we refuse to be victims to our thoughts and realize we have already been equipped with power from God to fight and win the war for our minds.
In Get Out of Your Head, Jennie inspires and equips us to transform our emotions, our outlook, and even our circumstances by taking control of our thoughts. Our enemy is determined to get in our heads to make us feel helpless, overwhelmed, and incapable of making a difference for the kingdom of God. But when we submit our minds to Christ, the promises and goodness of God flood our lives in remarkable ways.
It starts in your head. And from there, the possibilities are endless.

With everything happening in our world today, could there be a better book to help with toxic thoughts? Jennie Allen is the founder of IF:Gathering and has written several books including Restless and Nothing to Prove. With Get Out Of Your Head, she has taken her own life experience and combined it with God's truth in order to deliver a strategy to fight and win the war of toxic thinking.
Side note: mental illness is REAL and this is not a replacement for medical assistance. She makes that clear in her book as well.
With that being said, Get Out of Your Head focuses on how to break the downward spiral that our thoughts can take us on. It felt like I was sitting in a room with a friend who wasn't afraid to speak the truth. Not just the truths of how to stop the toxic thoughts, but also the real life stories that you can relate to. I am not alone in this, others feel this way to. This book gives you tools that you can put into practice and they work! If you are looking for change and freedom from destructive thoughts, I promise you will find this book helpful and eye opening.
AUDIOBOOK
This book was excellent!!!! Highly recommend to anyone who struggles with negative thoughts, anxiety, depression, etc. Practical applications, great biblical explanation, and the author is real and relatable. 10/10. This is like the Christian version of the ‘you are a badass' books.
I love Jennie Allen, but the lack of actual action steps in this book is frustrating. If you're an established Christian with a good community around you, this book is great for sparking conversation, otherwise, it lacks actionable steps and examples.
