The God-Shaped Brain

How Changing Your View of God Transforms Your Life

De: Timothy R. Jennings

Narrado por: Sean Runnette

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.

Character of God

A great book about how the content of what we believe affects us and about the true character of God

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!

Life changing book

This book is insanely good. It’s message has divine power to heal the mind & heart, and draw one back to God who is love.

I’m so grateful for the way Dr Jennings tackles extremely difficult questions & resolves the time a clear picture of God’s love & healing plan.

Thank you Dr Jennings for all the work, pray & guidance you invested to help someone like me in my journey to finding THE one & God who is Love.

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.

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

Solid research based information.

NOT JUST ANOTHER RELIGIOUS BOOK!

I really enjoyed this book and it’s message. The GOOD news about God’s non arbitrary nature is truly attractive! And as I try not to put much wight on opinion.. it’s grounded in the Bible, and harmonizes with nature and real life as God designed it.
A nice blend of real life stories, science and scripture makes for an easy and attention holding listen, at least for me. The reader is very pleasant and does a good job entering into the script.

Thank you Tim Jennings for taking the time to hammer out the thoughts and insights in this book. I hope many more people get their hands (and ears :) on it!

Very good book

I recommend this book to every one! God’s love and how it affects the brain. How we view God has big affect in how we view ourselves and others. Every Counselor, pastor, any believer in leadership or counseling should read this book.
