In \u003cem\u003eThe Vanity of Thoughts\u003c\/em\u003e, Thomas Goodwin helps us consider our native tendency to harbor frivolous and sinful mental companions. And having identified the severity of our condition, Goodwin encourages us to humbly and mindfully perform some much-needed housekeeping. He also provides remedies against these unprofitable inhabitants. We live in an age of information and a culture of entertainment. Here is a timely reminder about the vital importance of our thought life with a call to bring every thought captive to the lordship of Jesus Christ.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePreface\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Nature of Thoughts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Meaning of Vanity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReluctance toward Good Thoughts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEvil Thoughts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSinful Imaginations\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePractical Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRemedies against Vain Thoughts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAppendix: How Thoughts Reveal Our Hearts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndorsement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Thomas Goodwin thinks that you should think about your thinking. In a world that not merely allows but actively promotes and fuels vain thinking, Goodwin’s sweet and punchy little treatment of our mental-moral processes is a gem. He helps us not only identify foolish and frothy notions and imaginations but shows us how to stave them off while also filling our minds with the best things. Plainly and practically, Goodwin reminds us that Christianity is a genuinely thoughtful and truly holy religion.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e— Jeremy Walker, pastor of Maidenbower Baptist Church, Crawley, England\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThomas Goodwin (1600–1680) received his theological training at Cambridge University and held the presidency of Magdalen College at Oxford University.
