Summary

We often pit thinking and feeling against each other, especially when it comes to the Christian experience. Glorifying God with our minds and hearts, however, is not either-or, but both-and. Focusing on the life of the mind will help you to know God better, love him more, and care for the world. This book will help you think about thinking, and about how the heart and mind glorify God together. Book jacket.
