God’s Battle Plan for the Mind


Book Description

During the seventeenth century, English Puritan pastors often encouraged their congregations in the spiritual discipline of meditating on God and His Word. Today, however, much of evangelicalism is either ignorant of or turned off to the idea of meditation. In God’s Battle Plan for the Mind , pastor David Saxton seeks to convince God’s people of the absolute necessity for personal meditation and motivate them to begin this work themselves. But he has not done this alone. Rather, he has labored through numerous Puritan works in order to bring together the best of their insights on meditation. Standing on the shoulders of these giants, Saxton teaches us how to meditate on divine truth and gives valuable guidance about how to rightly pattern our thinking throughout the day.

God on the Brain


Book Description

The human brain is incredibly complex. Both Christian and secular scholars alike affirm this fact, yet the traditional view of humanity as spiritual beings made in the image of God has come under increased pressure from humanistic and materialistic thinkers who deny that humans are anything more than their physical bodies. Christians have long affirmed that humans are spiritual beings made by God to know and fellowship with him, while the humanist position views humans as merely evolved animals. Bradley Sickler provides a timely theological, scientific, and philosophical assessment of the human brain, highlighting the many ways in which the gospel informs the Christian understanding of cognitive science. Here is a book that provides a much-needed summary of the Bible’s teaching as it sheds light on the brain, with careful interaction with the claims of modern science, arguing that the Christian worldview offers the most compelling vision of the true nature of humanity.

Mind - Body - God Connection


Book Description

Is there a connection between what we think and how we feel? Does the mind talk to the body and the body to the mind? What about negative childhood experiences? Can early life experiences impact the state of our physical, mental, and emotional health decades later? The exciting field of psychoneuroimmunology explores the vital links between the mind and body and their roles in the development of disease. Current research demonstrates that our state of health has more to do with our state of mind than we had earlier believed. As a registered nurse with over 25 years of experience, Darlene D. Hall has worked in a variety of settings. She has encountered thousands of patients in both medical and psychiatric settings and has seen firsthand the links between the mind, the body, and the development of disease. She also has had the unique experience of not only being a nurse, but also a patient who has suffered from a variety of illnesses, beginning early in life. In her book, Mind-Body-God Connection, Darlene writes from her experiences as a nurse and from a personal perspective. In this book she connects the dots that lead to disease and shares how she found healing--mind, body, and spirit.
