Is there a God?

It’s a question billions of peoplehave asked since the dawn of time. You would think by now we’d have asatisfactory, universal answer.

For Dr. Jay Lombard that place is the brain, andmore importantly the mind, that center of awareness and consciousness thatcreates reality.

In The Mind of God, Dr. Lombard employs case studies from his own behavioral neurologypractice to explore the spiritual conundrums that we all ask ourselves: What is the nature of God? Does my life have purpose? What’s the meaning of ourexistence? Are we free? What happens to us when we die?

For Lombard, these metaphysicalquestions are a jumping-off point for exploring the brain in search of theseat of the soul. It is neuroscience, the author contends, and how we and ourbrains interpret what’s going on around us that can lead us to a deeper andmore fulfilling faith.

Mixing his personal experiences inthe medical field (including compelling cases such as the male patient whoreally thought he was pregnant and a woman who literally scared herself todeath) along with his own visionary insight into spiritual experience,Lombard has much to tell us about the nature and power of belief—and what wecan do to focus our beliefs in a positive direction.
