BLAME IT ON THE BRAIN? BY EDWARD T. WELCH [REVIEWED by Peter J. Lindstrom] As a parent and leader in the church, Blame It On The Brain? comes with high recommendations to help orient us how we should approach difficulty situations. And these difficult situations, at times, seem to show up everywhere, including when we are doing our ONE Thing in our homes.  In my time of family worship last night, for example, how do I respond to a child as he creates a disturbance?  To be sure, the age of … Read More →
