review 1: "To love God with all of our mind is to engage our entire memory, not limited parts of it. To love God means not being limited to logical sequences of systematic theology. Loving God is autobiographical. It is about remembering our past and anticipating our future. It is about a God who will not be kept at a distance but uses each of our stories to confront, terrify, comfort, convict, and woo us."
review 2: This book was a bit dry in parts. I enjoyed the discussion of sin as a rupture and break in the oneness of the brain. Also, the author would describe Jesus' neurological state which was an intriguing concept. I enjoyed the part where the author would discuss how much joy God finds in us and his creation. He also discusses how we can affect God's emotiona... morel states- truly mind-opening reading. I was a bit wary in the last few chapters where he mentions Rob Bell as an influence in storytelling theology. I think this book was written before the controversy of the Rob Bell book, Love Wins. I was a bit hesitant to trust Thompson's opinions on theology with this recommendation. less
