The Personal Art of Self-Brain Surgery - How Faith and Neuroscience Work Together to Heal Thought Patterns and Restore the Mind with W Lee Warren’s Life-Changing Principle

William Hartley

Synopsis

Most people assume their thoughts simply happen to them. Anxiety appears without warning. Old memories resurface at the worst moments. Negative patterns repeat themselves even when there is a sincere desire to change. Over time, it can feel as though the mind is fixed, fragile, or beyond repair. This book challenges that assumption with a hopeful, science-grounded, and faith-centered message: the mind can be renewed, and lasting change is possible.Drawing on modern neuroscience and timeless spiritual wisdom, this book reveals how thoughts shape the brain and how intentional mental practices can rewire patterns that lead to anxiety,depression, emotional exhaustion, and inner conflict. Rather than offering quick fixes or surface-level positivity, it guides readers through a compassionate and practical process of understanding how the brain works, why harmful patterns form, and how they can be gently interrupted and replaced over time.Readers are invited to see themselves not as victims of their mental habits, but as capable caretakers of their inner life. Through clear explanations and relatable insight, the book explores how stress, trauma, grief, resentment, and distraction affect the brain, and why healing often feels slow or invisible at first. It reframes struggle as a biological and emotional process rather than a personal failure, removing shame and replacing it with clarity and patience.Faith is woven throughout the journey, not as a substitute for understanding the brain, but as a stabilizing force that gives meaning to the work of renewal. Faith supports trust when progress feels uncertain, anchors identity when emotions fluctuate, and sustains commitment when motivation fades. It transforms mental discipline into faithfulness, and healing into an act of stewardship rather than self-correction.This book offers practical tools for daily life: learning to interrupt harmful thoughts, regulate emotions, rest deeply, forgive without denying pain, train attention in a distracted world, and build resilience through steady repetition. It emphasizes that real change does not come from intensity or perfection, but from consistent, gentle practice that respects how the brain actually changes.Ultimately, this is a guide for moving beyond survival toward a life of purpose, resilience, and quiet strength. It is for anyone who feels stuck in their own mind, weary from constant effort, or longing for a healthier way to think and live. With understanding, compassion, and faith, the mind can become a place of restoration rather than struggle. The work is not about fixing what is broken, but about renewing what is already capable of growth.

Lorelei Collins possesses a soft heart for any animal in need, so when she finds a buffalo calf bawling beside its lifeless mother, she can't help but bring it home to raise on the ranch she and her sisters are building in the Rocky Mountain wilderness. Little does she realize that its white coloring is rare and considered sacred by Native Americans, which makes it highly valuable to them and European trappers alike. Men soon begin to visit their ranch to regard the marvel, with some trying to woo Lorelei into marriage and others trying to steal the calf outright.  
 
When the men's advances become more sinister, Lorelei approaches Tanner Mason, the quiet and mysterious owner of the new trading post, with an idea: she and the calf will move to his post, along with her family's trusted Blackfoot friend. This will solve both their problems by bringing customers to his trade room and protecting her family from the trouble brought on by so many strangers. Yet as the danger travels with her, Lorelei and Tanner are faced with a threat greater than anything they're prepared for--one that will test the limits of their abilities and the love growing between them.

Disarming Leviathan - Loving...

Caleb E. Campbell

Christianity Today Book Awards — Award of Merit for Politics and Public Life
ECPA Top Shelf Book Cover Award
A Mission-Field to Reach, Not an Enemy to Attack
Pastor Caleb Campbell has watched as Christian nationalism has taken over large swaths of the United States. And he's suffered the relational fallout of standing against it, both in his community and his church.
Campbell argues that while it's possible to be both a Christian and hold Christian nationalist ideas, Christian nationalism itself is an un-Christian worldview, rooted in ideas about power, race, and property that are irreconcilable with Christian faith. Campbell has come to see himself as a missionary to Christian nationalists, reaching out to them with the love and freedom found in Christ.
Disarming Leviathan aims to:

- provide a deeper understanding of the modern American Christian Nationalist movements and their relationship to American Evangelicalism.
- explore reasons why so many of our loved ones are committed to it.
- equip Jesus-followers with loving, hospitable methods for engaging American Christian Nationalists.
- provide graciously subversive methods for responding to American Christian Nationalist rhetoric, beliefs, and practices.

Christian nationalism has become an established feature of the American political landscape. With Disarming Leviathan, you can be prepared to confront it with compassion and hospitality, and with the truth of the good news of Jesus.
