From the Publisher
An invaluable book aiding the concerned Christian in the battle for the Christian intellect, Love Your God With All Your Mind offers a no-holds-barred approach to fixing what's gone wrong in the Church. The author brilliantly identifies the reasons for the loss of the Christian intellect and how the Christian mind has been lost to the ever-growing popularity of anti-intellectualism.

Love Your God with All Your Mind
8 May 2008 - Well laid out book that makes a good case r the importance of thinking in Christianity. While it does a good job there are several aspects to life and how to live that are just as important but are downplayed in this book.

Start using your God-given mind!
One of my favorite books! This book alone helped pave my budding interest in Truth and Apologetics. Moreland will challenge the great mass of church-goers to evaluate how engaged their minds are, in every area of their lives. Here you will see with clarity that as followers of Christ, made in his image - we have a mind that must subject all things to reason and logic. We are called to be actively engaged in worship and Spiritual growth, and this book will explain why and where we as a whole, fall short of "loving God with our minds". Being a Christian is not about feeling a certain way, but truly about thinking a certain way. Moreland with words of grace with eloquently knock against your mind to see if there might be anyone home to reason with him. Are you ready to leave the milk and sink your teeth into a little meat?

One of the First Books I Would Recommend to any Christian
J.P. Moreland lays out the biblical basis for cultivating a mind, and shows the importance of knowlege and reason in everyday life. This book(or other books like it) is important for the Christian who is skeptical about the role of reason in Christianity. This is surely a needed book for the Christian culture in America today who downplay the value of intellect in the faith.
