Thank you to my sister-in-law Mel for this book!

This is a children’s book that adults would benefit from reading for themselves, as much as a child would.

Do you ever feel trapped in your head? Do you ever find yourself imagining the worst, or do you feel stuck in an ongoing or seemingly endless loop of negative or depressing thoughts? This book is about negative thoughts – automatic negative thoughts – ANTs… you know, those discouraging thoughts that just come very naturally to think? Well, Captain Snout shows us how to squash those ANTs with some very practical and simple questions. These questions are surprisingly effective – I’ve tried them.

Thoughts are powerful. Unbelievably powerful. Thoughts can affect the trajectory, flow, and feel of a whole life. It’s been said that when you sow a thought, you reap an action… sow an action, reap a tendency, sow a tendency, reap a habit, sow a habit, reap a character, sow a character, reap a destiny. A single thought can lead to something much bigger.

I hope you read this book. And I hope you squash the ANTs in your own life.

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

2 Timothy 1:7

“Finally brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy – meditate on these things.”

Philippians 4:8
