In His Own Image: We Are Wonderfully Made

by Art Mathias

This book plainly teaches from medical science, psychology and Scripture how our negative thoughts and emotions (i.e. sins) cause most of our diseases.

Is there a connection between our thoughts and health? This question has been
asked for thousands of years. In this book, Dr. Mathias explains the connection
between negative emotions (sin) and disease. It is written from the viewpoints of
psychology, medicine and scripture and is highly documented with over 180
clinical studies. These clinical studies from psychology and medicine clearly
demonstrate how negative emotions destroy our immune system. Medicine and
psychology can identify the connection between the mind and body but they leave
out the “things of the Spirit.” Only God has the ability to bring closure and heal the
broken heart and broken body. The spiritual roots of over 200 diseases are
discussed.

Amazing books. I thought I would just use it as reference to find out what might be the source of a disease I or a loved one might have. However, the best part of the book was surprisingly the first part which explains how our bodies actually work to bring healing or disease with many quotes from scientific/medical journals. This book will help anyone to realize how their thoughts & emotional reactions determine their health. This combined with The Biblical Foundations of Freedom can work wonders in one's life!
