    About this ebook

    You, my friend, are a unique and wonder-filled creation.
    You are valuable beyond your ability to comprehend treasure.
    In the entire universe, for all eternity, there is, and will always be, only one you. You were designed for, and placed on, planet earth to complete a mission that only you can complete.
    Yes, it’s true—you are a unique and wonder-filled creation.
    Here’s the downside—you may not believe it.
    Do you know why? It has to do with your heritage as a human being—you’re broken.
    You are not to blame. It is not your fault.
    Ever wonder why you don’t understand your true worth?
    Ever wonder where your beliefs about you came from? Ever wonder why you are the way you are? Ever wonder where the Motives that inspire you originated? Or, why certain Affections rule your heart—why your Desires are sometimes darker than you would care to admit—why you experience negative Feelings that regularly bring unwanted grief—why your Actions can, at times, be a source of confusion and loss—and, why you are haunted by negative and persistent Thoughts you wish would just go away?
    These are the primary questions God’s system for success addresses in this book.
    God will rewire and restore your Motives, Affections, Desires, Feelings, Actions and Thoughts (MADFATs).
    You will be transformed by the renewing of your mind as you follow the Biblically based and simple system outlined within. You will possess a clearer vision of your purpose and realize your soul’s restoration.
    Your heaven-guided, spiritual vision will clear and you will fully discern, grasp and assume the fullness of your unquestioned and royal place in the kingdom of light.

    James Bars

    “An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field.” — Nikki Giovanni It is not by any virtue that James Bars has discovered how to help others. Rather his failures are the bedrock upon which God began to reach him and move him to share the hard lessons learned. James has dedicated much of the last three decades to the practice, study and research of Biblical Teachings, Christian Counseling, Neural Science, Faith and Health Counseling, Human Behavior Consulting, Addiction Recovery Counseling and Master Life Coaching. He currently serves as a Christian Counselor/Coach and Author at MyNewMADFATs.com. James Bars was born and raised in Lewiston, Idaho. He served in the 82nd Airborne during the Vietnam War. After the war, James was honorably discharged and moved to Oregon—his heart’s true, earthly home, where he resides with the love of his life—his beautiful wife Suzanne. He has six awesome children and a handful of beautiful grandchildren. His life experience has been wide and adventurous. He has gone from living like a native in the wilds of Oregon’s Eagle Cap wilderness to upper management with a Fortune 500 international corporation. His joy’s include spending time with his family, traveling, being out in God’s creation and watching the light come on in someone’s eyes as they realize their true worth and value as a child of our awesome God! He writes, consults, counsels and coaches with one consuming, Holy Spirit-inspired purpose—to help others enhance their personal relationship with God and enable them to discover His will for their life.

      Here is a book that will have you going deeper into scripture as you learn to become positive and improve your outlook. The title MADFATs stands for Motives, Affections, Desires, Feelings, Actions, and Thoughts. Don't rush through this book, or you may miss some important tools to improving your walk with Jesus. I would not call this a self-help book, but more of a bible study. I encourage you to take your time and absorb all the information filled throughout this book. I am using it as a study for the next 52 weeks as I slowly take in ways I can serve God and not let things of the world discourage me. One of my favorite scriptures is, "Be anxious for nothing , but with prayer and supplication let your requests be known to God." Philippians 4:6. The author encourages us to have positive thoughts . We can let our mind become confused with thoughts of depression or anxiety . The book is a very useful guide to better living through changing the six keys he talks about in the book . It is time we forget about being selfish and realize there are others in the world that we can help. Sometimes just a kind word or a little time spent with someone makes a big difference in their life. Take your time, use the book and let the words soak in as you find happiness and joy in the Lord. Don't we all want to have pure motives, care for others, seek our desires, feel good about ourself, be His hands and feet and think on the Lord?I received a copy of this book from The BookClub Network for an honest review
    • 3/5
      The spiritual renewal of our minds is what James Bars chose as central topic for God, Please Rewire My MADFATs. The acronym covers motives, affections, desires, feelings, actions and thoughts. In the first part you’ll get a Neurology 101 to stress the principles of neuroplasticity and neurogenesis, needed to rewire your brain and create fruitful connections up there, and reach homeostasis. Bars leans on works like The God-Shaped Brain by Timothy Jennings (Come and Reson Ministries) and Teaching With the Brain in Mind by Eric Jensen. This is not a self-help book, but founded in the Spirit-led life a born again Christian needs to live to follow Christ. To help you out the authors created New Song Practice Guide and Sheets, meant to memorize Bible verses and visualize the biblical way of life.To know that you’re loved by God, are in the Kingdom of light and reived grace, is important to learn to sing a new song for God, and spread the good news. Bearing the fruit of the Holy Spirit and reflect God’s image more and more is a lifelong assignment. We have to refocus our perspectives and thoughts, change our behaviours and intentions. “Move your being into God’s light on a consistent basis. Take a proactive stance toward allowing Him to dissolve the darkness by moving you being toward Him.” as random quote shows that the storyline is full of repetitions. Both the MADFATs, the references to the online resources as well as single individual instructions or tips are repeated every other page. The author doesn’t hide from telling you about temptations, troubles, pain and suffering. Fortunately he also provides many Bible verses to encourage you to continue and follow Jesus Christ.The author presents the rather ambiguous Greek words for ‘love’ (storge, philia, eros and agape) as if they’re distinct, an error made by countless preachers and authors by selective reading their Bibles. Nine steps to resolve conflict and manage anger and WHOLENESS as acronym coined by nutritionist Linda Clayville, as well as ‘My new MADFATs System for Success’ do hint at belonging to a self-help recipe. That leaves me as reviewer with mixed feelings regarding the author’s chosen genre.
