By Ken Ham One-third of the young people in our churches believe “holy books” other than the Bible are inspired by God, according to the research published in my co-authored book Ready to Return. But those books aren’t the infallible, inerrant Word of God. They are simply the ideas of fallible men, and we need to judge their thinking based on the authority of the Word of God.

Eating a low-carbohydrate whole-foods diet appears to be a powerful strategy for protecting and improving the health of the body. Could this same nutritional strategy benefit the brain as well? Emerging science and clinical experience suggest that the answer is a resounding yes.1 Many people think of mental health problems like depression, anxiety, and ADHD as chemical imbalances that require medication, but how often do we stop to wonder what causes these chemical imbalances?
