spiritual practices the
attention required is what the
brain needs to grow
Lack of religious

synchronizing her
movement unconsciously
with her friends
Infants just ten
minutes old will look

PRAISE FOR WHAT YOUR BODY
KNOWS ABOUT GOD
ldquoThank God he has made us for glory that extends
to the tips of our toes and even to our neural pathways Read this and let your whole self rejoicerdquo
mdashKatelyn Beaty managing editor Christianity Today
ldquoRob Moll must have paid better attention in sci-
ence class than most of us did The result is a book I
literally could not stop referencing in my preaching
Science is seeing what faith has long knownmdashthat
discipleship can make us more sane healthy humanrdquo
mdashJason Byassee senior pastor Boone United
Methodist Church author Discerning the Body
The brain is in many ways like
a muscle growing stronger
the more it gets used In
spiritual practices the
attention required is what the
brain needs to grow
Lack of religious
involvement affects
mortality equivalent to
forty years of smoking
one pack of cigarettes
per day
The average college
student takes 21
milliseconds to begin
synchronizing her
movement unconsciously
with her friends
Infants just ten
minutes old will look
at faces longer than
at patterns that are
not faces
The brain doesnrsquot begin a
rapid heartbeat when
afraid We become afraid
when we experience
the rapid heartbeat
Spiritual activity
enhances our
brainrsquos ability to
recognize suffering
and respond in
action
God has
hardwired us to
commune with
him and to have
compassion and
community with
others

most beloved of all Psalmsmdashand thus
begins a thousand-year journey through
the Bible Prophets apostles and Jesus

Now Kenneth Bailey uses his celebrated
insights into Middle Eastern culture to
bring new light and life to our understand-
ing of this central Christian image With
nine Old and New Testament passages
Bailey reveals the literary artistry of the
Biblical writers and summarizes their key
theological features inviting us to experi-
ence a rich biblical feast of ethical theo-
logical and artistic delights

AN EXCERPT
The scope of the texts involved in this
study has been for me quite daunting
Psalms three different prophets Jesus the
Four Evangelists and Peter are all a part
of the journey before us My intent in this
work is not a fully documented techni-
cal commentary on the passages involved
Rather our focus is on the unfolding of
the extraordinary story that is created
in Psalm 23 and repeated (with changes)across a thousand years down to the pen-
ning of 1 Peter Surely our task is to
understand as best we can the original
intent of various accounts of the good
shepherd and to strive to faithfully apply
those meanings when applicable to the
church and to the world in our day
PRAISE FOR THE GOOD SHEPHERD
ldquoDeftly wielding the tools of biblical scholarship story-
telling and cultural exegesis This book is a treasure
trove of useable insights for preachers and teachers and a
devotional classic for daily disciples alikerdquo

context of first-century liferdquo

good shepherd this book has an abundance of surprises

experience of Middle Eastern culture to explore biblical

bring new light and life to our understand-
ing of this central Christian image With
nine Old and New Testament passages

AN EXCERPT
The scope of the texts involved in this
study has been for me quite daunting
Psalms three different prophets Jesus the
Four Evangelists and Peter are all a part
of the journey before us My intent in this
work is not a fully documented techni-
cal commentary on the passages involved
Rather our focus is on the unfolding of
the extraordinary story that is created
in Psalm 23 and repeated (with changes)across a thousand years down to the pen-
ning of 1 Peter Surely our task is to
understand as best we can the original
intent of various accounts of the good
shepherd and to strive to faithfully apply
those meanings when applicable to the
church and to the world in our day
