Praise for The 4:8 Principle

“In a serious world filled with trials and uncertainty, when was the last time someone challenged you to discover genuine joy? While “joy” may seem like a luxury we can’t afford, Tommy Newberry reminds us that life was meant to be lived with energy, fulfillment, purpose and yes, joy. I have personally watched Tommy teach some of the top business people in the country to adopt his 4:8 Principle mindset in their workplaces and families. The tangible, positive results they’ve experienced has been tremendous. His teaching and mentoring – now available to you and me in book form – can make a world of difference in how we approach life today – and where our lives, families and contributions to other’s lives can end up tomorrow.”
John Trent, Ph.D.
President, The Center for Strong Families
Scottsdale, Arizona

Get ready to transform your mind! With a no-nonsense approach, Tommy Newberry will nudge you out of your comfort zone and revolutionize your thinking. He’ll also show you the way to experience joy in your life like you never have before.
Les Parrott, Ph.D.
Founder of RealRelationships.com
Author of 3 Seconds

“With fist-pounding passion and clarity, Tommy Newberry nails the truth in The 4:8 Principle. I urge you to listen up. A new way of life is possible.”
Norm Evans
President, Pro Athletes Outreach
Former NFL All-Pro

“As a clinical psychologist, I frequently see how negative and self-destructive patterns of thinking not only lead to a variety of personal and relational problems, but also severely limit our full potential. In The 4:8 Principle, Tommy Newberry clearly and effectively shows us how to transform old, negative patterns of thinking into new, productive ones using solid Biblical truths. The wisdom within this book can be applied by anyone – starting today! I will use these powerful, life-changing tools in my own life and in my clinical practice.”
Mark E. Crawford, Ph.D.
Clinical Psychologist and author of When Two Become Three: Nurturing Your Marriage After Baby Arrives.

“With The 4:8 Principle, Tommy Newberry has again established himself as the premiere
authority on achieving and enjoying true success in life. You can become everything God created you to become when you reprogram your mind with the timeless principles and practical message clearly described in this book. I have used and shared Tommy’s teachings for years, and after reading The 4:8 Principle I was amazed at both its simplicity and its power to make our life a life of joy. You’ll want to read this over and over again!”
Bill Orender, Senior National Sales Director
Primerica Financial Services

Book Description

Tommy Newberry’s message is simple, relevant, powerful, and timeless. In this New York Times bestseller, Newberry takes a single biblical principle and teaches us how one simple truth can magnify the joy we experience in our marriage, with our parenting, and in our life as a whole. Unfortunately, we live in a society bent on nursing old wounds and highlighting what is wrong with just about everything. As a result, we have grown accustomed to viewing the world, our lives, and ourselves through a lens of negativity and that negativity stands in direct contrast to the passionate, purpose-filled people God wants us to be. This is where The 4:8 Principle grabs our attention. First, the author skillfully persuades us to acknowledge the link between the thoughts we choose to think and the joy we experience. Next, he shows us how we can grow our potential for joy by refusing to dwell upon the problems and pressures that are enduring and inevitable. Finally, he challenges us to pay the price of joy by becoming “extraordinarily picky” about what we read, watch, and listen to on a consistent basis. The strength of the book, though, is in Newberry’s ability to clearly explain how to put this principle into daily practice through a series of quick, easy and even fun adjustments. The 4:8 Principle is loaded with specific suggestions and helpful advice for going beyond the ordinary and experiencing life as it was meant to be.

Very Relevant to Today's Christian

Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2023

This book is one of the top 10. As a chaplain and counselor, I will be using this book regularly in my practice. It has a very healthy mix of psychology and Christianity. It is very heavy on the Christian side. He explains scripture plainly. I was constantly blown away with his biblical accuracy while reading the book. I can't wait to finish the book so I can summarize it and begin using it in my counseling ministry! I have a few chapters left.

Repetitive but Good

"Think about good positive things" is the central idea. If you read Phil 4:8 in a few translations you'll get the idea. Like all self help books, it circles the central idea many times, repeating and rewording. Again and again it says the same things. Who knows maybe it's better that way. ;)

Life is so much better with true JOY!!!

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2013

Verified Purchase

I read this book last summer (2012) and fell in love with it before I had even finished the first chapter! I am now leading my Sunday School class and studying this book with them and thrilled to be reading it again! Outside of the Bible itself, this book would easily make my top three favorite books I have ever read...and I read a lot of books! This book is just like any other book on personal Christian growth. In order to make the most of this book, you will need to actively apply what you are reading in each chapter. If you run through this book and don't apply anything from it then you will probably think poorly of this book and never look at it again but if you apply the "gold mine" of principles that are stuffed in each chapter of this book then you may never have a bad day again! You will still always have days that are better than others, but it would be very hard to say that you had a bad day if you are truly practicing what you are learning from this book! Your days will be filled with unbelievable JOY because once you know how to think about everyday life then your perspective completely changes! Things that used to rob you of your joy are no gone because of your changed thinking and new perspective on life! This book will get you thinking like the first century Christians such as Paul who was joyful all the way through his persecutions and even death! More importantly, you will become closer to thinking like God! That is exactly how He intends for us to think, like Him, constantly filled with JOY! I am so thankful God put this book in my life! It has truly changed me! The Christian walk is far better when you have your thinking right, not to mention, I believe true JOY and PEACE are the two greatest and most effected characteristics for our witness for Christ! It is these two things that nonbelievers point at in Christians and say, "I don't know what they've got, but I want it!" I am having a blast going over this again in Sunday School and can't wait to read his other book "40 Days to a Joy-filled life." Bottom line is: if you are serious about improving in this area of your Christian walk then you will not regret this purchase!

Take control of your happiness.

Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2008

The only thing God has given mankind full dominion over is our volition. He gave us full range to think whatever thoughts we decided on. As you can imagine, leaving mankind to his own devices can be problematic. Many people worry constantly, because they choose to. Others may be quick to anger, because they choose to. Still other may have "why me" attitudes or be self-deprecating. And yet, God gave us the ability and the instruction manual on how to use that same volition to achieve maximum happiness. The choice is ours.

Tommy Newberry's book, THE 4:8 PRINCIPLE serves as a roadmap on the journey of improving ourselves by improving our thoughts. We know that all lasting change is preceded by changed thinking, and this magnificent book gives step by step instruction on how we may accomplish just that.

Newberry begins by having the reader recognize that God is the ultimate source of all that we are. Once we recognize that we are truly God's creation and therefore have unlimited capabilities, we can then stop basing our self-worth on what other people think of us and start concentrating our thoughts on what God thinks of us.

No book on life improvement would be complete without the importance of forgiveness in our lives and that is where Newberry takes us next. Our true potential for joy rests on our ability to forgive others as well as to forgive ourselves. This is a critical step in taking charge of our emotional lives and makes us aware that we are responsible for everything that happens in our life. Without that awareness we will remain a part of that ever growing part of society that is forever chained to unhappiness because they think they are owed something and they are not responsible for who, where and what they are.

The reader then learns how to go about the business of starving out negative emotions. There are so many wonderful insights here on how to find the inner happiness so many people seem unable to find. This is an exceptional book that I highly recommend to anyone who has ever lacked the inner peace and happiness they are missing.

ties it all together

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 27, 2013

I've read all the classic self development books, internalized them, and have tried my best to act on the concepts I've learned. This book by Tommy Newberry has supplies the missing link, and has allowed me to align the principles learned in other sources with those he presents. And so although his primary emphasis is on quality of thought, using St. Paul's epistle to the Philipians as a reference, his approach is to explain all those inputs that effect this quality of thought, and how to change those inputs. And so although I am a big proponent of the work done by the late Dr. Covey, and also the thinking of Jim Rohn (and even Napoleon Hill's work), and have read everything in between, and it appears so also is Tommy Newberry (as there is obvious material from those other sources), it is this book that I will use going forward.

Applying the principles found in this book it truly life changing. In many areas I cannot change the circumstances in my life, but my life can change if I change the way I view my circumstances. At first I thought I found this gem of a book by accident; now I believe it was divine! Thank you Tommy Newberry, for this extremely useful tool. I am a work in progress and will use this tool on all that life throws at me. Bring it on! :-)
