Soul Care: A Review

This book by Gregory L Jantz, PhD contains Prayers, Scriptures, and Spiritual Practices for When You Need Hope the Most!

We live in stressful and uncertain times, leaving many of us feeling overwhelmed and overcome. Soul Care by Dr Gregory Jantz, mental health expert and author of Healing Depression for Life, is a healing collection of inspirational quotes, Scriptures, and prayers to help you or a friend get through times of emotional turmoil. Soul Care is a calming and comforting resource to help cultivate a healthy, faith-filled emotional life.

One of my favorite chapters in this book is entitled Laughter.

Sometimes wisdom can be found in the most unlikely places. That’s certainly true of this lyric from a 1977 hit song by Jimmy Buffett: “If we couldn’t laugh, we would all go insane.” Now I doubt Buffett knew that he had science on his side, but as it turns out, the Physical, Psychological, and Emotional payoff of laughter is no joke. In fact, studies have shown that laughter is good for your health. Among the benefits identified by recent studies are

Reduced stress levels,

Improved immune system function,

Increased levels of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, and

Increased heart rate and oxygenation of vital organs.

C.S. Lewis is quoted as writing “Joy is the serious business of heaven.”
