Understanding the difference between illness and sin

How can we know if a problem is spiritual or physical?
What does the brain do and what happens when it is not working well?
How can we better understand those who have brain injuries?
When should we direct people to doctors?
What should we know about psychoactive drugs?

These and many other similar questions are dealt with in this book.

Studying the brain and its disorders is very important for all types of counselors. If they do not, counselors who see unusual behaviors can misunderstand brain dysfunction and think only in spiritual terms. However, this issue has its challenges. Therefore, this book will begin in the theological trenches, to clarify assumptions, define the nature of the person, consider possible exceptions to human responsibility and provide a model for understanding brain dysfunction. In the process we will discover that there are many more answers than we imagine. It is the author’s wish that the content of this book will encourage you to take care of others and stimulate your faith.
