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.

There are just a few books capable of changing your life, and this is one of them. Beyond just telling a story or relaying new facts, The God-Shaped Brain, tells the Who, what, when, where, and why of how God heals and saves people. It has some science-based vocabulary, but don't let that scare you off, everything is explained and many illustrations are given to make it clear. Mr. Jennings uses actual case studies to illustrate his points. The audiobook is excellent too. This is just one of Mr. Jennings' awesome books. You should try them all.
