About
Outreach Magazine's 2021 Resource of the Year in the Church Category.
Christianity tends to focus on beliefs and choices as the keys for personal growth. But biblical evidence and modern brain science tell a different story.
Combining faith with the latest developments in neuroscience and psychology, Renovated offers a groundbreaking and refreshing perspective of how our attachment to God impacts our minds and hearts. You'll find that our spiritual growth is about more than just what we believe―it's about who we love.
Drawing from conversations he had with Dallas Willard, author of Renovation of the Heart, shortly before Dallas's death, Jim Wilder shows how we can train our brains to relate to God. Transformative and encouraging, this book offers practical insight for deepening your relationship with God through the wondrous brain and soul that He has given you.
A wise guide on your discipleship journey, this spiritual formation book features:
- An approachable look at how theology and intimacy with God impact behavioral and emotional change
- A one-year plan for integrating attachment practices into your church
- A list of additional resources for deeper study

"Now this is a rich read! I've long been convinced the healing of our humanity comes through attachment to God. Jim shows you how."

"Just when I thought I had extracted all that Dallas Willard had for me, Jim Wilder integrates something fresh from neuroscience into a revised model of transformation. Read this book one page at a time, or you will miss what it has for you and the people you lead."
