How to Think: A Survival Guide for a World at OddsHow to Think: A Survival Guide for a World at Odds by Alan Jacobs
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an interesting read. Jacobs addresses many biases that keep us from really thinking. His discussion of ingroups and outgroups was insightful. He helps us see what we often think of as independent thought isn’t that at all. I liked it.

Book Review: Your Mind Matters: The Place of the Mind in the Christian Life

Your Mind Matters: The Place of the Mind in the Christian LifeYour Mind Matters: The Place of the Mind in the Christian Life by John R.W. Stott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is an excellent little book on the place of the mind in the Christian life. Far too many professing Christians have followed a charismatic, mystical emphasis on experience and focused on head/heart distinctions to the point we have lost our minds (no pun at all intended). Stott does an excellent job considering scriptural teaching and practical application. Sure, you will find some points of disagreement here and there, but I highly recommend it.
