An Explanation of How to Rewire Your Brain

James Bars’ book, 3-3-3 You Are Free!!!: How To Secrets - You Can Live the Way God Intends...Free!!! has an intriguing premise. A person’s inner thought life can be a battle ground of thoughts and emotions. What if you could figure out a new weapon to help counter and defeat your mind’s destructive, negative thoughts? What if instead of believing lies, you could rewire your mind with truths that would then help you grow spiritually, emotionally, and even have more physical health.

Bars’ lays out his process by combing science, stories, experience, and scripture- lots of scripture! Since he has seen a significant, measurable turn-around in his own life, he writes so that others could benefit from understanding what he has learned.

The benefit to this book is getting the chance to read another person’s journey and see how and if it could relate to your own faith walk. There are some personalities who will really gravitate to this kind of discipleship tool.

My caution about this book is that it came across too strong at some points—sometimes Bar would share his personal views on various points of theology which didn’t necessarily fit in with the premise of the book. Some could read these sections and be turned off to the main reason the book was written. I hope Bars’ next book will take this into consideration.

You will certainly be encouraged by Bars’ charisma—anybody who uses six exclamation points in his title is certainly excited about what he has to share!
