We all understand sin...don't we? In this penetrating book, Dr. Satinover unfolds the Bible's radical vision of sin's destructiveness -- as well as the path to healing. Sin alters the very structure of our brains as much as our characters, pulling us deeply into illusion, generating powerful false needs and a false self, and slowly separating us from others and from God. Approaching the critical interweavings of sin and compulsion from an integrated scientific, psychological and spiritual perspective, the author demonstrates that nowhere is ther a more incisive understanding of sin - and of its baneful effects in our lives - than is found in Scripture. Even modern neuroscience, properly understood, only confirms and further illumines what was revealed to us by God. Anyone struggling with sun -- which is to say all who are trying to lead Godly lives -- be especially those caught in the toils of unwanted compulsions will find in this book a deeper understanding of their battle, and heartening consolation, too, in its explanation of how God enables us to succeed.

Feathers of the skylark: Compulsion, sin and our need for a Messiah

<p>Leanne Payne writes: "In my book on CS Lewis, The Real Presence, I wrote that one of the great bulwarks against the ideological thrust to combine good and evil that now affects us at every level is the intellect of CS Lewis, and that his books are unique in this century. I believe we now have another such in Dr. Satinover. His works will be extraordinary effective in unmasking this dread synthesis as it has flowed into church, synagogue, culture and the body politic through psychological reductionism. Of late, the flow has become a flood, as Jungian psychology and its many tributaries --all neo-Gnostic transforms of psycyhological reductionism -- are eagerly taken in by a spiritually-deprived culture no longer able to dicern genuine living water from its imitation. With his background as an eminent scholar and analyst, and especially because of his close familiarity with the world of Jungianism, Dr. Satinover has the ability to unmask this gnosticism from the inside. This is precisely what he does in The Empty Self: CG Jung and the Gnostic Transformation of Modern Identitiy.</p>
