Recent studies confirm what patients, chaplains, and medical clinicians have testified to for dwelling on the truth of God's Word can enhance health. Dr. Backus brings biblical balance to mind/body issues while staying clear of New Age philosophies. (Originally titled The Healing Power of a Healthy Mind. )
I am so happy to have found Backus' work. This book did a great job of differentiating New Age ideology from what research has shown about the power of our minds and the effect our mindset can have on our health. If you know me, you may know about my love of German New Medicine, and this book is right in line with GNM.
This thought-provoking book is rich with insights about the spirit, mind, and body interaction in health and disease. Coupled with modern medicine, Dr. Backus recommends seeking Biblical spiritual truths to offset unhealthy "misbeliefs." Going deeper than "positive thinking," he offers practical methods for enhancing health/healing. Originally purchased in 1999, I found this book well worth a second read. Highly recommended!
