Book Review

This is Your Brain on Joy by Dr. Earl Henslin The Apostle Paul teaches us that to be filled with joy we need to learn to be content no matter what situation we may find ourselves in. Christ living in us should give us joy but we need to show good stewartship by taking care of our heart and brain. We need to realize that happiness come from within. This book tells us how to care for our brain, how to make it better and how to use it to glorify God. This is a must read for those in the health care profession, those in ministry and those who may be suffering from brain dysfunction or those who have someone in their life that may have lost their joy. Excellent book written in language that you don't have to have a medical degree to understand. Dr. Henslin teaches about chemical imbalances that sometimes take place in the brain. He shows us how the brain is effected by depression, bipolar disorder, ADD, PMS, and other brain dysfunctions, by using a SPECT imaging machine. The book has included a test so you can evaluate your brain. Dr.Henslin proves that if you have lost your joy, it may not be because of sin in your life or the life of your parents. People who suffer brain dysfunctions do not have to feel hopeless, there is hope and healing. Treatment consists of proper nutrition, supplements, herbs, medication, scripture,music, exercise, aromatherapy, cinematherapy,having a support group, bibliotherapy,prayer, anger management and biofeedback. No one treatment is for everyone. The book tells you wish treatments to try, according to which dysfunction you have. I would recommend this book to everyone.
