Excellent

I loved this book. Very scientifically and Scripturally-based without going overboard. An excellent book for Christians and non-Christians, alike.

exceptional work and termanology

I had never heard of Dr. Jenning prior to an aquaintence mentioning his name. Having read Dr. Curt Thompson I immediately became intrigued. Dr. Jennings exceeded my expectations with a thoughtful blend of understandable brain insight that helps reveal the nature of our true God. I too was raised in a fundamental church structure that kept me laying awake at night as a young boy fearfully wondering if any unconfessed sin remained inside and if I would wake to find that I was the only one left behind if Jesus returned. Such abusive constructs of God are difficult to unravel in the mind. Dr. Jennings work is a blessing to me and the kingdom of God, as many believers rightly understand our God of Love due to this work.

not sure who this book is fir

This book has some good concepts. Bad things don't come from a punishing God. Fear is generally counterproductive. God is loving and forgiving. But pretty much every Christian I know already believes this at least in theory. Some of the stories are caricatures of themselves. And the suit takes some liberties with "studies" to make what sometimes are over stated conclusive if not just outright false ones. I stopped reading after chapter 9 because I kept waiting to get to the useful parts of the book, but the judgmental and slightly arrogant attitude of the author finally were too much.

Really good

I really enjoyed this book. I’m a religious neuroscientist and liked his views on God & the brain. There were a few things that I felt were cringey/ were a stretch of a connection between the brain & God. However, this was a great book overall! Teaches about Gods true nature with a spin of neuro. I recommend!

Getting to know your brain

Great book, very easy to understand. Gives insight into different ways people have the wrong idea about God.

Powerful way to think about science and religion.

I found this book super helpful in thinking about the psychological impacts of religion. It's important to not only think about what my religion tells me I should do, but also to look at if that view point helps me live a better, healthier life.

The answer: think for yourself and believe that God is love. If you accept those two things as vital. You will drastically improve... well, everything.
