Everyone has their own thoughts and ideas about our origins, morality, and even spirituality. But where do our thoughts begin? Why do we think the way that we do? And should we rely on our own thoughts to guide us in our daily interactions with one another? Stephen J. Fyson dives deeper into thinking, examining the roots of these questions and pointing the reader to discover why good thinking starts with God.
In this short look into the history of psychology and the history of some “thinking” religions, Fyson encourages the reader to examine their thoughts a little more closely to find what everyone is searching for—Truth.
What Others are Saying…
“Human cognition requires a moral compass to guide our thinking and thinking justly. It is an excellent book that helps us think about our thinking biblically and why God is the important Foundation in understanding this wonderful and mysterious aspect of who we are as human beings.”

“Dr. Fyson described his book as a ‘little book’; however, it is a substantial one in terms of its encompassing perspectives on theology, sociology, psychology, education, and many more in relation to thinking. I appreciate the book’s core message, which explicitly states that good thinking starts from God, knows Him through Jesus Christ, and is led by the Holy Spirit. This message may not be readily understood by the secular world, yet it has the potential to prompt reflection and exploration. I sincerely pray that this ‘little book’ will bring a big impact, not only to the Christian community but also as an inspiration for others on thinking.”

“The book Why Good Thinking Starts With God: Thinking About Thinking is a much needed piece of literature for both Christians and non-believers. For the Christian, it encourages them to look at life—whether in thought, word, or deed—from a biblical perspective. For the non-believer, it will open their eyes to view life more clearly if taken from a Christian perspective. Stephen Fyson has done an excellent job in alerting us to ‘think about our thinking’; and in doing so, the book brings Colossians 3:2 into a clearer light: ‘Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.’ Highly recommended.”

“This book is going to be especially helpful in the world where thinking is no longer in the minds of people because Google and other platforms are thinking for people. People are no longer reading their Bible. If one does not read the Bible, it will be impossible for such person to think godly. This book will be the best guide to lead people to thinking. This book will be the best tool for Christian education. Christian education is so affected by this separation of the spiritual from thinking, to a point that Christians do not realize that the best mind is the mind of Christ and the best thinking can only happened when you are in Christ.”

“In his book Why Good Thinking Starts with God: Thinking About Thinking, Dr. Stephen Fyson constructs a mosaic of ideas that craftily has the reader contemplating their own thought processes and how they emanate from God. In this age where metacognitive thinking is spoken about and referred to often, Dr. Fyson skilfully points the reader back to God, His wisdom, and His Word. The topic of thinking about thinking is tackled from every perspective—philosophical, practical, historical, and current. It is extensively referenced with the works of renowned Christian philosophers such as C. S. Lewis and Christian Smith and a multitude of other writers. Dr. Fyson carefully structures this book into logical sections that relate thinking to the brain and neuroscience, character, consciousness, twenty-first century technology, learning theory, and, penultimately, to faith. I recommend this book to those who may enjoy Christian philosophy in a very readable form.”
