Description



Book Synopsis



Discover how faith literally reshapes your brain. In A God-Shaped Mind, Dr. Chuck Coker bridges groundbreaking neuroscience and timeless biblical truth to reveal how God designed your mind to grow--transforming not only your faith, but your life.

This is your brain on God.

As millennials empty the pews, Generation Z is taking their place. Coming to Christ in record numbers, this inspiring movement marks both opportunity and urgency. Dr. Chuck Coker believes this moment calls for more than conversion; it calls for growth.

For decades, Coker has studied spiritual maturity, coaching pastors and leaders on how to help believers develop lasting faith. In A God-Shaped Mind, he makes a compelling case: spiritual maturity isn't just good for your soul. It's good for your brain.

Blending groundbreaking neuroscience with timeless biblical truth, Coker reveals how God designed our brains to grow biologically, socially, and spiritually. Concepts like neuroplasticity, epigenetic changes, and emotional intelligence don't compete with Scripture; they confirm it. The same processes that shape our minds also shape our faith. Without continued growth, our spiritual lives can remain as undeveloped as an infant's, unable to walk, speak, or make an impact.

In A God-Shaped Mind, Coker guides readers through each stage of spiritual development, from spiritual infant to spiritual parent, using scripture and scientific evidence to reveal what's happening in the brain and heart at each stage and how God prepares us for the next one.

Whether you're a new believer or simply feel stuck in your faith, A God-Shaped Mind will educate, encourage, and equip you to grow into all God designed you to be--renewed in mind, strengthened in purpose, and transformed for a lifetime of walking with Him.
