The mind plays an important role in Christianity. Unfortunately, many of us leave our minds behind when it comes to our faith. In Love Your God with All Your Mind, J. P. Moreland presents a logical case for the role of the mind in spiritual transformation. He challenges us to develop a Christian mind and to use our intellect to further God's kingdom through evangelism, apologetics, worship, and vocation.

"I put this in the box for who I would recommend the book to, but it was too long... so I recommend it to any Christian who wants to better understand how their mind plays a role in their spirituality or any person who thinks that Christians must exchange their thinking mind for their faith."
— Jessica (4 out of 5 stars)
" Moreland seems to have a pretty idealized model of the intellect. He doesn't even acknowledge or account for any "fallenness" that sin might have foisted on it. "

— Karen, 1/21/2014" I recommend this book and there are some very good points made, but Moreland tends to over-emphasize intellectualism IMO...Christians have to balance the intellectual life with being Christ's hands and feet in the trenches. "

— Scott, 7/20/2009" The author is a professor of Philosophy at the Talbot School of Theology in CA, and his mind is astounding. God gave us a mind for a reason, and his thesis on faith and reason is one of the best I've ever run across. "
