The Mind of God: Neuroscience, Faith, and a Search for the Soul

Dr. Jay Lombard

For fans of Deepak Chopra, Rudy Tanzi, and Andrew Newberg. A renowned behavioral neurologist
provides insights to some of the most curious spiritual questions we all
face.

Is there a God?

It’s a question billions of people
have asked since the dawn of time. You would think by now we’d have a
satisfactory, universal answer. No such luck…Or maybe we do and we just need to
look in the right place. For Dr. Jay Lombard that place is the brain, and
more importantly the mind, that center of awareness and consciousness that
creates reality.

In The Mind of God, Dr. Lombard employs case studies from his own behavioral neurology
practice to explore the spiritual conundrums that we all ask ourselves: What is the nature of God? Does my life have purpose? What’s the meaning of our
existence? Are we free? What happens to us when we die?

For Lombard, these metaphysical
questions are a jumping-off point for exploring the brain in search of the
seat of the soul. It is neuroscience, the author contends, and how we and our
brains interpret what’s going on around us that can lead us to a deeper and
more fulfilling faith.

Mixing his personal experiences in
the medical field (including compelling cases such as the male patient who
really thought he was pregnant and a woman who literally scared herself to
death) along with his own visionary insight into spiritual experience,
Lombard has much to tell us about the nature and power of belief-and what we
can do to focus our beliefs in a positive direction.

If you want to find more meaning in your life or are searching for a deeper understanding of why we believe what we believe, then this book can lead to an exciting transformation in the way you see and understand the world around you. With cutting-edge research and provocative case studies, renowned behavioral neurologist provides insights to some of the most curious spiritual questions of mortality.
