Desire and beauty go hand in hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut both our craving to be known and our ability to create beauty have been marred by trauma and shame, collapsing our imagination for what God has for us and blinding us to the possibility that beauty could ever emerge from our ashes. Drawing on his work in interpersonal neurobiology and clinical practice, Thompson presents a powerful picture of the capacity of the believing community to reshape our imaginations, hold our desires and griefs together, and invite us into the beauty of God's presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Soul of Desire\u003c\/i\u003e is a mature, creative work, weaving together neuroscience and spiritual formation to open up new horizons for thinking not only about the nature of the mind, but about what it means to be human.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Curt Thompson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1514002108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781514002100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e IVP\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.30w x 1.10d","brand":"Curt Thompson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44053186576639,"sku":"9781514002100","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3651ceb1-7671-4b44-9143-77dc71ce2566.jpg?v=1685022911","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-soul-of-desire-curt-thompson-9781514002100","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
