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.

Tim Jennings, one of America's top psychiatrists, here reveals how our brains and bodies thrive when we have a healthy understanding of who God is.

Case studies, illustrations, Scripture and a layman's look at brain physiology are a few of the tools Dr Jennings uses to help us understand that "changing your view of God transforms your life."

A few thoughts from the text:

"What you believe about God actually changes your brain."

"Brain research has found that our thoughts and beliefs affect our physical, mental and spiritual health."

"While we have power over what we believe, what we believe holds power over us too---power to heal and power to destroy."

"When we finally remove the distortions of God from our mind....when we finally return to the truth of God's template of love, and enter into that unity of trust with Him,
he will not only cleanse our characters but will also come again and cleanse His universe from fear and selfishness."

The addendum is putting it all together---simple steps to a healthy brain.

In the action plan, we take responsibility for our lives, rewire with "redeemed thinking" and" take our relationship with God to the next level."
