APB The God-Shaped Brain (Timothy R. Jennings)

 What you believe about God actually changes your brain.

Brain research in neuroscience 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 neuroscience and Scripture come together to bring healing  and transformation to our lives.

 This expanded edition now includes a study guide for individual  reflection or group discussion, with questions for learning from  Scripture, science and nature, and experience.
