Do you ever feel like you make the same New Year’s resolutions year after year? The truth is, it’s hard to change. That’s why we need God’s help! Today I’d like to share a free book and a New Year Bible Study you can use to go to God for help with transformation.
Free Kindle Book
For the next three days, you can download The Renewing of the Mind Project for free on Kindle. This is a book that will help you with those New Year’s resolutions you keep making year after year. The truth is, most of those resolutions can’t be done in our own strength. That’s why we keep making them year after year!
The Bible tells us we’re transformed by the renewing of the mind, and The Renewing of the Mind Project is a crash course in the renewing of the mind.
It has Bible verses and questions you can use to talk to God about breaking habits, starting habits, accomplishing goals, and letting go of negative emotions like worry, anger, and insecurity.
You can use the book by yourself with God, but it’s also helpful for discipling others, counseling, and small group Bible studies.
Click on the links below for a sample of some of the questions and Bible verses in the Renewing of the Mind Project:
- Anger/Annoyance questions and Bible verses
- Perfectionism
- Self-condemnation
- Discontentment
- Boredom
- Worry
- Decisions
The book also has questions and Bible verses on breaking habits and pursuing goals, but I just realized, I don’t have any of these on my blog!
New Year Bible Study
If you’d like a Bible study to go with the book, here are a few options:
- Single Session New Year Bible Study: Working with God on Your Goal
- Single Session New Year Study: When God Doesn’t Change You Instantly
- Four to Six Week New Year Bible Study: New Year’s Resolution Bible Study
- New Year’s Eve activity to help come up with goals: New Year’s Resolution Worksheet
- If you’d like to lead a Bible study with just the book: The Renewing of the Mind Project Leader’s Guide

New Blog Design Coming Soon! For the past couple of months, I’ve been working on reorganizing the blog. If you look at the tabs at the top of the blog, most of them now have a drop down menu that I hope will make it easier to find things. I’m also excited about a new blog design which should be up in the next week or two!

I’d appreciate it if you’d share this post as I’d like to give away as many books as possible in the next three days! I’m excited about the new year and all that God will do in our lives. I’ve heard from so many of you throughout the year; I’ve rejoiced with your testimonies of growth and commiserated with your stories of how hard the growth process is. It’s nice to do it together, isn’t it? I look forward to another year of fellowship. :)
I received and completed Day 1 of Renewing of the Mind Bible Study but I did NOT receive Day 2. I am really looking forward to this Study. PLEASE ADVISE.
Hi Joan, I’m not sure what you mean. Are you looking for the week 2 plan? Here’s a link to it: https://barbraveling.com/2013/01/19/renewing-of-the-mind-workshop-week-2-plan/. I also updated each week’s plan so there’s a link to the next week’s plan. All of the Bible studies are on my blog so they’re not sent out by email, although that’s a great idea. I should think of doing that! Let me know if I didn’t answer your question!
I got mine! Happy New Year to you and yours, Barb. May God bless you and all of yours this year.
Can you put the book give away in a link via a tweet? If you can do that I’ll forward it on. Send me an email if you can.
Barb…you are so generous with your ministry and encouragement. I sat by our Christmas tree this morning with one of your books…thanking God for his truth and grace! Happy New Year to you and yours. <3
You’re so nice, Becca – I so appreciate you! Hope you and your family also have a wonderful year!
I would love a free book!!! I came across your study through purchasing your app I deserve a Donut! I love the verses! I am an independent Advocare distributor and just began my first 24 day challenge today and love hearing truth!!! http://Www.choosethechallenge.com/teamwakeman My husband and I are getting Healthy in 2016 and starting first with the renewing of our minds with truth!!!

Praying you have a blessed New Year.
Thanks for your friendship.
Thanks, TC. I appreciate your friendship as well. Praying you also have a wonderful year – enjoy those kiddos!
Thank you so much. I got your book when it was free and read it this past week. It is a huge answer to prayer and I am looking forward to digging into my own project. Thank you for writing it and for all of the resources you’ve put together.
I’m so glad the book was helpful, Tiffany! Praying that God blesses you as you go to Him for help with your project!

Hi Daina! I might – it will depend on how much time I have as it takes a bit of time to write the post and do the changes at Amazon. I’m working on getting an updated version of Freedom from Emotional Eating out by the end of the year so that’s my priority. If you want, you could just wait to the end of the year to see if I get a chance to do it. If I do, it will be before January 2nd. Sorry I don’t have a definite answer!
Hi again, Daina! Just wanted to let you know I did get a chance to set this up and it will be free from 12/31 to 1/2. The blog post will go out tomorrow talking about it!
