Mind Game (Brace Yourself and Take Position)

The world, its growing pace, whims and fancies put a majority of Christian youths unaffiliated to the faith and life they are called to. The contemporary youths are drifting away from Christian faith more than ever before. The lack of true and proper knowledge of God and a solidified idea behind God’s purpose for their life, and their question for existence often puts young people at a spot, where they find themselves sandwiched between world views and Christian beliefs.

The enemy who is constantly waging war against God, attacks those that are made in God's image. And the young people are his easy victims. This book will unravel the schemes and strategies of the enemy and help readers identify the reason for a defeated young Christian life which is not what they have been called for.

Mind Game is so dear to me, and I want all the readers to make it your own. This book shows how God has been so faithful to me all my life. I don't consider myself able enough to write this, but God in His faithfulness guided me all the while. So, in all honesty I can say that this book is because of Jesus, and about Jesus.

I started writing Mind Game in the summer of 2017. God led me to a friend to work closely with towards the final chapters of this book in 2020. In the meanwhile out of my many supplications, I had been praying for my spouse since the past five years. Little did I know that Maggie, whom I perceived to be my confidant was God's answer to my prayer for my consort. Working with her on this book, led me towards falling in love with her, I got down on my knees and proposed her for marriage. We got married on the third of December, three months after having met each other. She is now my dearly beloved wife, my one an only 'Mag', who brings me great joy. This book has been a blessing to me already, and my earnest prayer is that it will be a blessing to you as well.

Back in the summer of 2017, as I rested on my dorm room couch looking outside the window of room number 12, of Doon Bible College. A flock of birds flying in clear blue sky in absolute freedom was a sight for my sore eyes. What I saw served like cool waters that goes down your throat, soaking wet every cell and tissue of your body on a hot afternoon, when the sun is right above your head. The sight as pleasant and delightful as it was, also led to a thought provoking question on my head, and a deep mourning in my heart.

What consumes the minds of these birds?

The freedom the birds experienced was in stark contrast to the state of young people today. The flight these winged creatures took was beyond all restrictions. Young people are under the slavery of sin, because of which their hands, heads and hearts are tied to the fleeting pleasures of this world, tightly binding them, and soiling their feet with concrete, instead of giving them wings to fly.
