<p>"This is a really cool book. Virtue meets theology meets neuroscience meets personal growth. As one makes the journey through the book, one learns how fundamental dispositions that lead to a life living the fruit of the Spirit are made possible by this remarkable brain of ours. With exercises at the end of each chapter, this is a book that can be truly transformative. You will not simply know more about yourself, you will be more fully the self that God intended."&nbsp;</p><p>The Very Rev. Ian S. Markham, PhD&nbsp;</p><p>Dean and President of Virginia Theological Seminary and Professor of Theology and Ethics&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>"I recommend this fascinating book to all who agree with St. Ignatius-'Our one desire and our one choice should be this: we want and we choose whatever will allow God's life to be deepened in us.' Bryan Spoon has crafted a beautiful integration of neuroscience, the study of emotions, and Christian Scripture and teaching. I will surely use these ideas not only for my own growth but also to enrich adult formation classes."</p><p>The Rev. Janice Hicks, BCC&nbsp;</p><p>Eldercare Chaplain and coauthor of Redeeming Dementia: Spirituality, Theology, and Science&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>"A creative intersection of Christian thought and neuroscience that offers powerful and pragmatic tools to help you nurture the true self that you deserve."&nbsp;</p><p>Jeffrey M Schwartz, MD&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Research Psychiatrist and coauthor of You Are Not Your Brain and The Wise Advocate&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>"Neuroscience and the Fruit of Spirit is a sure guide for understanding the physiological basis for spirituality and ethical behavior. Drawing from his own experience as an Episcopal priest and hospital chaplain, Bryan Spoon offers a dialogue between modern neuroscience and the Bible to reveal the physiological changes that occur when life is centered on love, joy, peace and other fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). He expertly shows how our spiritual practices can literally reshape the brain and lead us to health and wholeness. I strongly recommend this work for both individual and group study."&nbsp;</p><p>Wilburn T.
