Protecting the Mind by Pablo López-Silva,Luca Valera Pdf

This book offers a comprehensive analysis of philosophical, social, ethical, and legal challenges arising as a consequences of current advances in neurosciences and neurotechnology. It starts by offering an overview of fundamental concepts such as mental privacy, personal autonomy, mental integrity, and responsibility, among others. In turn, it discusses the influence of possible misuses or uncontrolled uses of neurotechnology on those concepts, and, more in general, on human rights and equality. Then, it makes some original proposals to deal with the main ethical, legal, and social problems associated to the use of neurotechnology, both in medicine and in everyday life, suggesting possible policies to protect privacy, neural data, and intimacy. Crossing the borders between humanities, natural sciences, bio-medicine, and engineering, and taking into account geographical and cultural differences, this book offers a conceptual debate around policy and decision making concerning some of the key neuroethical challenges of our times. It offers a comprehensive guide to the most important issues of neurojustice and neuroprotection, together with a set of new paradigms to face some of the most urgent neuroethical problems of our times.

Gospel Fluency by Jeff Vanderstelt Pdf

flu·en·cy / noun :the ability to speak a language easily and effectively Even if they want to, many Christians find it hard to talk to others about Jesus. Is it possible this difficulty is because we're trying to speak a language we haven't actually spent time practicing? To become fluent in a new language, you must immerse yourself in it until you actually start to think about life through it. Becoming fluent in the gospel happens the same way—after believing it, we have to intentionally rehearse it (to ourselves and to others) and immerse ourselves in its truths. Only then will we start to see how everything in our lives, from the mundane to the magnificent, is transformed by the hope of the gospel.

Your Heart & Mind: Priceless Possessions Worth Protecting by Isekhua Evborokhai Pdf

Everything we do in life kicks off from our hearts and minds. Our actions, inactions and reactions. Our body language, our responses and silences – all of them are channels that output the thoughts of our hearts and minds. Our hearts and minds are priceless possessions the Lord has blessed us with; and they are worth giving everything we have to protect. They are very important to us because the things our hearts and minds focus on, whether positive or negative are the things we tend to attract to our lives. God takes the state of our hearts and contents of our thoughts seriously and so should we! If we fail to check our thought life, it can very quickly become our own worst enemy, poisoning us from within! Every innovation ever recorded in history started off as a thought; a product of the mind! And the driver of such innovation is the dream of success; a product of the heart! Between the heart and mind, we find the very core of all human existence! Because together, they determine the course of our lives! They determine whether we succeed or fail in life; they affect all our life’s choices and ultimately determine if we live or die! Without a doubt, both combined form a formidable powerhouse! The world today is experiencing an unprecedented level of widespread depravity because there is an ongoing battle for the control of the minds of the people. So far, the enemy has succeeded in capturing millions of the unsuspecting and the naïve; those with unguarded and unprotected hearts and minds by offering depravity disguised as “liberation”. In this book, the author clearly articulates the requirements for guarding our hearts and minds! He spells out the steps we need to follow to value, guard and harness the potentials God deposited in us. He exposes the tricks of the devil and offers to the reader tried and tested counter measures that strengthens the reader equipping them to turn the tables against the devil and come out victorious! The author also elaborates the benefits (physical, spiritual and emotional) derived from a guarded heart and mind bringing the reader to an understanding of the importance our hearts and minds play in determining the course of our lives! An understanding that will ultimately change our lives altogether for the better!

Protecting Your Greatest Asset by Merica Cox Pdf

In the beginning, God said, "Let us make man in our own image, after our own likeness and let them rule over everything we have created." The question is, which part of a human being is made in the image of God? Some scholars feel that our reason, creativity, speech and self-determination are the image or nature of God. Man was created an intellectual, creative being, which is God's nature. The Devil is a strategist; the bible says he is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Satan's best weapon is making people believe that he does not exist. The Lord has not left us at the mercy of Satan and his demons; he is raising us into an army that will destroy Satan's prisons and let the captives go free. We are not fighting alone. Jesus fights alongside us. The battle for the mind is still going on today. Satan uses everything he can find to try to confuse, weaken and eventually destroy our minds. Don't give him your mind - stand up and fight.

The 4:8 Principle by Tommy Newberry Pdf

Tommy Newberry's message is simple, relevant, powerful, and timeless. In this New York Times bestseller, Newberry takes a single biblical principle and teaches us how one simple truth can magnify the joy we experience in our marriage, with our parenting, and in our life as a whole. Unfortunately, we live in a society bent on nursing old wounds and highlighting what is wrong with just about everything. As a result, we have grown accustomed to viewing the world, our lives, and ourselves through a lens of negativity—and that negativity stands in direct contrast to the passionate, purpose-filled people God wants us to be. This is where The 4:8 Principle grabs our attention. First, the author skillfully persuades us to acknowledge the link between the thoughts we choose to think and the joy we experience. Next, he shows us how we can grow our potential for joy by refusing to dwell upon the problems and pressures that are enduring and inevitable. Finally, he challenges us to pay the price of joy by becoming “extraordinarily picky” about what we read, watch, and listen to on a consistent basis. The strength of the book, though, is in Newberry's ability to clearly explain how to put this principle into daily practice through a series of quick, easy and even fun adjustments. The 4:8 Principle is loaded with specific suggestions and helpful advice for going beyond the ordinary and experiencing life as it was meant to be.

The Coddling of the American Mind by Greg Lukianoff,Jonathan Haidt Pdf

Something is going wrong on many college campuses in the last few years. Rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide are rising. Speakers are shouted down. Students and professors say they are walking on eggshells and afraid to speak honestly. How did this happen? First Amendment expert Greg Lukianoff and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt show how the new problems on campus have their origins in three terrible ideas that have become increasingly woven into American childhood and education: what doesn’t kill you makes you weaker; always trust your feelings; and life is a battle between good people and evil people. These three Great Untruths are incompatible with basic psychological principles, as well as ancient wisdom from many cultures. They interfere with healthy development. Anyone who embraces these untruths—and the resulting culture of safetyism—is less likely to become an autonomous adult able to navigate the bumpy road of life. Lukianoff and Haidt investigate the many social trends that have intersected to produce these untruths. They situate the conflicts on campus in the context of America’s rapidly rising political polarization, including a rise in hate crimes and off-campus provocation. They explore changes in childhood including the rise of fearful parenting, the decline of unsupervised play, and the new world of social media that has engulfed teenagers in the last decade. This is a book for anyone who is confused by what is happening on college campuses today, or has children, or is concerned about the growing inability of Americans to live, work, and cooperate across party lines.

Spirit, Soul, and Body by Andrew Wommack Pdf

Have you ever asked yourself what changed when you were "born again?" You look in the mirror and see the same reflection - your body hasn't changed. You find yourself acting the same and yielding to those same old temptations - that didn't seem to change either. So you wonder, Has anything really changed? The correct answer to that question is foundational for receiving from God. If you lack this basic understanding, you'll forever ask yourself doubt-filled questions like: "How could God love somebody like me?" and "How can I possibly expect to receive anything from the Lord? I don't deserve it, I'm not good enough!" Spirit, Soul, and Body will help you eliminate those and other doubt-filled questions that destroy your faith. If you have trouble receiving from God, this is a must-read!

Think by John Piper Pdf

This is a book to help Christians to think about thinking. Focusing on the life of the mind helps us to know God better, love him more, and care for the world. Along with an emphasis on emotions and the experience of God, we also need to practise careful thinking about God. Piper contends that 'thinking is indispensable on the path to passion for God'. So how are we to maintain a healthy balance of mind and heart, thinking and feeling? Piper urges us to think for the glory of God. He demonstrates from Scripture that glorifying God with our minds and hearts is not either-or, but both-and. Thinking carefully about God fuels passion and affections for God. Likewise, Christ-exalting emotion leads to disciplined thinking. Readers will be reminded that 'the mind serves to know the truth that fuels the fires of the heart'.
