The twenty-first century has witnessed radical new discoveries about the brain. With penetrating insight into this current research, Tim Clinton and Gary Sibcy show professional counselors and lay-level readers how...

• People are not simply products of their genes. God has created the human brain to respond to new experiences by literally rewiring itself.
• The mind and brain are separate but related entities. People can change their minds by changing their brains (through diet, exercise, and medication). But they can also change their brains by changing their minds (by practicing new ways of thinking, developing new relational patterns, and engaging in spiritual disciplines).
• Relationships have particularly powerful effects on brain chemistry.

These discoveries are remarkably consistent with a biblical worldview. Readers will gain practical insights about why they do the things they do, how to deal with nagging sin patterns, and what they can do to transform their lives.
