Publisher's summary

Brain research has found that our thoughts and beliefs affect our physical, mental and spiritual health. Mind and body are interrelated, and we are designed for healthy relationships of love and trust. When we understand God as good and loving, we flourish. Unfortunately, many of us have distorted images of God and mostly think of him in fearful, punitive ways. This leads us into unhealthy patterns of self-defeating behaviors and toxic relationships. But our lives can change when God renews our minds with a truer picture of him.

Psychiatrist Tim Jennings unveils how our brains and bodies thrive when we have a healthy understanding of who God is. He dispels common misconceptions about God and shows how different God concepts affect the brain differently. Our brains can adapt, change and rewire with redeemed thinking that frees us from unnecessary pain and suffering. Discover how science and Scripture come together to bring healing and transformation to our lives.

Life Changing

I LOVED this book. It absolutely transformed and changed my view of God and His love for us. I am a sceptic by nature, and have at times felt so distant from a God I wasn't sure I believed in. This book opened my heart and completely convinced me of His love. I wish every single person could/would get this book!

Highly recommend!

The way Dr. Jennings unites spirituality with psychiatry is so beautiful and life changing. I seriously can't get enough. I'm reading and listening to everything I can from him and his ministry called Come and Reason Ministries.

Everyone in the world should read this!

This book I will have to get the hard copy as well because there was so much to digest and think about. I have read Dr. Jennings other book and have also read much on brain research. His understanding rings true and whether you are an Atheist or something else. You owe it to yourself to read this entire book then make your choices for your life. Your brain will thank you for reading this book and applying what is learned from it.

truly believe everyone should read this book

I love this book. This book States what's so much of us need to know so that we can understand the motivation behind why we do things. It opens us up to a whole different level of closeness with God and understanding his plan for our life. It's also extremely accurate and with all the biological neuropsych
