GOOD READS

SO INTERESTING TO NOTE: Modern philosophies and theories abound regarding our conscience, sub-conscience,  and behavior.  We frequently use terms like 'body, mind and spirit,' and 'heart and soul,' but deep down are left to wonder where does each one of those really start and the other begin? What about emotions? Thoughts? Our will? To the best of my ability, I have designated these resources in a way that best aligns with the biblical perspective on thoughts, emotions and the Holy Spirit.
