Endorsements

\”I appreciate Jay\’s fresh perspective, particularly the conversations between parent and child. The conversations help me, not only to see how I myself can view the subject, but also to hear what it might sound like when I do talk with my kids. This book has enriched my own understanding of the glory of marriage and all of its accompanying blessings. The underlying principles of the teaching you are about to read are profoundly biblical, dazzlingly insightful, and fun to read. After completing each chapter and its real world conversation, I couldn\’t wait to get to the next chapter to see how these interrelated concepts came together to paint a full and rich picture, for me and my children, of God’s goodness and of his extravagant gift of marriage and sex. Enjoy!\”

Paperback

About the book

Redeeming Memory is about memory and what the Bible has to say about it. This book examines how God transforms memories from a heavy burden to a blessed hope.

Memory plays an important role in the Christian life both in its proper function but also in its corruption. This book is written for Christians who suffer knowingly or unknowingly from the heavy burdens of memory like grumbling, nostalgia, bitterness, regret, shame, as well as future fears of futility and insignificance. God removes these heavy burdens by His mercy at the cross and redeems memory back to its original purpose, to glorify and worship Him.

Marijuana and the NY Times: Smoking away our brains

The first and most disturbing is that smoking marijuana changes the brain. The nucleus accumbens thickens and among those in the study, the more they smoked the more it thickened. The changes […]
