With All Your Mind: A Christian Philosophy

This is not light reading. These are some of the most challenging chapters I have ever read. But, they do have much to say, and they do challenge us all at places we need to be challenged. There is one chapter that should be popularly read. All pastors should thoroughly digest it for its value to their congregations. Everyone needs the insights gained from the chapter on comparitive ontologies (compairing what different religious systems believe). Woodfin outlines five topics, or questions to be answered by any of the world's religions. When you have these five in mind you can compare and evaluate any two or more religlions at their essence. You can appreciate the forest as opposed to being lost among the trees. This is, I think, fairly valuable knowledge in these days when all the wars are being attributed to what the participants believe. There are those avowed to kill us for not believing what they believe. Most of us don't know what they believe.

If you think about thoughts, and how you think thoughts, and why you think the thoughts you do, and why your thoughts tend to move toward what's most important to you, you must read With All Your Mind. Yandall Woodfin's writing does not pander to tabloid minds, but his presentation of where you live - your mind - is not only brilliant, it's exciting.
