Stanford has seen far too many mentally ...

    What you believe about God actually changes your brain. Brain research in neuroscience has found that our thoughts and beliefs affect our physical, mental, and spiritual health.

Unfortunately, many of us have distorted images of ...

    How are Christians to understand and undertake the discipline of psychology?
