While this is a slightly easier read than Renovated I find them to be a perfect pairing (i.e. I would always recommend reading both). I can’t overstate the value of understanding the brain science of transformation; how identity is formed, how we change, how we mature, how we become more like Jesus.
Having mostly known highly spiritualized answers to these questions that didn’t yield a great deal of transformation for me, the truths in this book gave us the opportunity to shift how we approached this Christian life and how we embraced community, ultimately resulting in greater emotional maturity within our spiritual family.
To know, “oh, this is how God designed us for relationship, for transformation, for life” and it not be one person’s idea, but solid science… it’s unbelievably helpful.
