Dr. Caroline Leaf is a cognitive neuroscientist, and since the early 1980‘s she has studied and researched the Mind-Brain connection and did some of the initial research back in the late 80s showing the neuroplasticity of the brain. Backed by up-to-date scientific research and biblical insight, in her new book Think Learn Succeed, Dr. Caroline Leaf empowers you to take control of your thoughts in order to take control of your life. Dr Leaf and I chat about the new book, THINK LEARN SUCCEED on her visit to South Africa.

In this episode, I connect with Michael W. Smith. Michael is a multiple GMA Dove Award Winner and multiple Grammy Award winner and now he has teamed up with VeggieTales co-creator Mike Nawrocki to bring us Nighty Night and Good Night, the first in a series of bedtime books. Get ready to read to your little ones, the story of the stuffed animal band the Nighty Nights that are called upon to help their friend Ben try to fall to sleep. This cute and sleepy adventure leads Lamby, Bear, and Sleepy Puppy to discover that a classic lullaby might just do the trick.

This book includes a link that allows readers to listen to Michael W. Smith sing the same lullaby that helps put Ben to sleep.

I connected with New York Times Bestselling author, Lisa Bevere on her new book, Adamant. In a culture where “truth” follows the trends, and opinions are king, many are left empty on their quest for a firm foundation. Lisa challenges readers to look to God for truth and certainty, instead of relying upon the world’s ever-changing opinions.
