Review :
The brain is the most intricate and delicate muscle of human anatomy---and perhaps the most precious of our God-given gifts. In "Max Your Mind", Sandra Stanton brings it front and center and reveals it to be an important hinge for the door of our lives. Highlighting its connection with our bodies, spirits, and relationships, she offers practical advice and helpful exercises to keep it in tiptop shape. Learning from "Max Your Mind" will keep this important hinge from squeaking and rusting out.” ---Albert Haase, OFM, Author of Catching Fire, Becoming Flame: A Guide for Spiritual Transformation
“Max Your Mind" was a great encouragement to me. This book will provide information and inspiration for all who want to remain open to ‘God’s surprises. ---Eric Alfrey, Children’s Minister, First Baptist Church, Columbia, SC. Former Director of Kunming International Academy, Kunming, China
