What happens between our good intentions and the choices we actually make in the moment?

If only we could make decisions ahead of time rather than when we're under stress, overwhelmed, or swayed by fear or emotion. In Think Ahead, we learn how to do just that and live the life that God wants for us.


Pastor Craig Groeschel knows from personal experience and as a counselor to others what being trapped in a cycle of poor decision-making is like. In Think Ahead, he shares what he has discovered about the power of “pre-deciding.”


With thought-provoking exercises and questions for reflection, this interactive book teaches us how to position ourselves to make the choices we really want to make as followers of Jesus and avoid those we do not. Think Ahead will help you:


See how your small choices shape the kind of person you become
Understand the science behind your decision-making habits
Overcome decision fatigue and debilitating fears
Diminish the role of emotions in decision-making
Define and put into action the seven life-defining pre-decisions you can make today

Becoming the person God wants you to be starts before you even make a decision. In Think Ahead, you’ll discover the power of pre-deciding today to help you live the life you want to have tomorrow.

Every day you have the chance to make your life count! In Think Ahead, my friend Pastor Craig teaches us all how to create better habits and make great decisions! Let his wisdom, impact, and love for Christ help you be the best version of who God created you to be!

Most people think success is about working hard, getting a little lucky or being given a leg up. All this is true, of course, but none of those reasons will guarantee success. The truth is, over time, the only behavior that will ensure success is good decision-making. Each of us are only about 1,000 good decisions away from a life we dream about. So the key, then, is to learn to make great decision and then make those kinds of decisions every day. In Think Ahead Craig Groeschel, who has lived this message for decades, teaches us why, and more importantly, how to make the decisions that will shape our lives for the better.
