See How Science Helps Prove the Existence of the Biblical Heart!

Presented here is a Christian psychology and science-based theory called heart morphology. In reading about this, you will discover a precise definition of the spiritual heart and the skills necessary to attain maximum benefits from all its extraordinary functions. In this book, you will find scientific proof of the existence and functionality of the biblical heart. Findings from brain research on the frontal lobes of the brain are cross-referenced with scriptures about the heart. Everything that science has discovered about the functioning of this part of the brain is complementary with the nearly eight-hundred references to the functions of the spiritual heart described in the Bible.

Be Transformed in Your Character!

The heart is about who you are now in real time and who you are becoming. It is where truth can set you free and transform you out of all the fear, betrayal, depression, anxiety, guilt, anger, or hurt you may experience. But to do this, we must think differently. The hardest thing for human beings to do is to think a new thought—not just any thought but the right thought revealed by the Holy Spirit and consistent with the Word of God. The heart processes all information coming in and out of you. As a Christian therapist, Pete Carlson, LMFT, knows that you, even if you are not a believer in Jesus, can benefit by learning how to operate your frontal lobes more effectively. If you know what the heart is, how it functions, and how to use it, you can get an upgrade in your character, personality, and walk in Christ. Through faith, you empower your heart to consistently morph into healthy dispositions of the heart, even into the likeness and character of Christ!
So you are encouraged to use scientific discoveries to help you through your voyage in life and to call upon Jesus to take the wheel of your ship at the helm of your heart. Bon voyage!
