Starting in February, I plan to go through a book by Dr. David Phillips entitled, Holy Rewired. It's an intriguing look at science and the Gospel in the journey toward wholeness. The short summary on the back of the book reads:
"The ultimate impact of sin has been to destroy our sense of identity. We have lost that sense of being created in the image of God and being created for perfect relationship with our Creator. Because we are a broken image, we are searching to discover who and whose we are. Our unhealthy behavior is an expression of that searching and longing that is within all of us. We long to be whole.
"Wholeness is journey back to the Garden. The journey results in behavioral change as God rewires who we are, how we think, and how we live.
"This is not a book about finding right techniques. It will not tell you to be more disciplined. Holy Rewired challenges you to allow God to touch the deepest part of your emotional life. Doing so leads to emotional health, allowing you to then change your thinking. Transforming your thinking transforms your living.
"Drawing on recent research from emerging brain research, psychology, and theology, Holy Rewired helps you discover a wholeness that you can embrace and a God that wants to help you get there."
If you want your own copy of this book, it's available on amazon.com.
