Righteous Big Horn Sheep

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. But many of us have distorted images of God and 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. In The God-Shaped Brain, psychiatrist Tim Jennings unveils how our brains and bodies thrive when we have a healthy understanding of who God is.
