From the Inside Flap:
Our minds and our hearts are connected. We cannot separate what we do with our brains and our relationships from what we do with God. But how exactly does the process work? And is it possible to improve the way we think and relate, resulting in deeper, closer connections with God and the people we love?
In Anatomy of the Soul, psychiatrist Curt Thompson shows how neuro-scientific findings about our brain functions align with what the Bible teaches about how to develop the mind of Christ. As we engage in spiritual practices such as prayer and confession, our actual neural networks are renewed. In essence, God is using our brains as a signpost, supporting and sharpening our understanding of him—and enabling us to reflect his character in the way we live our lives and influence our communities.
This profound book will help you gain a better understanding of how God wired your brain and how spiritual practices can help you, not only improve your relationships with God and other people, but also deal with issues such as anxiety, addiction, unhealthy guilt, or depression.
