The book utilizes key learning strategies involving every sense that God has given us to imbed new ideas and behaviors into the mind and heart in a gentle way. It also incorporates pictures to further the emotional impact and attachment to key concepts, because our emotions are often used when making critical decisions in our lives. This will give readers positive images so that their brains can track more positively. One of the most challenging things we face in life is making the best decisions with the information we have.
