At any given moment since I was old enough to read, I’ve got at least one book I’m working on. For years tho, it’s usually 3 books at a time:
one to educate myself (science or medical) one to elevate my growth spiritually and in leadership one to put myself to bed at night and help my brain shut down…. usually historical fiction.This is what I’m working thru right now….
Brain Energy is a fascinating look at mental health and how this author (a psychiatrist) has determined that mental health disorders are largely caused by metabolic disorders and can usually be managed when the metabolic disorder is addressed and corrected. (I believe he has a strong case here, especially when stacked upon unresolved emotional trauma and either a lack of connection to God or experiencing spiritual oppression.)
The Book Woman’s Daughter is an excellent historical fiction read about a family in Kentucky who are persecuted because of a genetic defect. It is the sequel to the Book Woman of Troublesome Creek, so read that first! Parts of it are heartbreaking
.
.Rare Leadership is a book I dove into about a week ago and I’m loving it! I’ve never read a leadership book that ties strong theology with brain science. I have a few other friends I spoke about this book to, and they are reading it too…. we’ve decided to have an impromptu book study that we’re starting in a few weeks to talk about it. (If it’s something that might interest you, order a copy and let me know and I’ll let you know meeting times/ dates…. will be by ZOOM).
Have a great week! xoxo~ liz
