The Hollywood Book Reviews commends “Critical Thinkers” by G. Janice Miller

The Hollywood Book Reviews’ Ephantus M. commended and described G. Janice Miller’s book, “Critical Thinkers,” saying that it is “a Christian resource which seeks to undo the shallow and fragmented style of thought that is being witnessed today, generated by a missing and easily disregarded element in spirituality—critical thinking.”

The author of this masterpiece, Janice Miller, blends more than 45 years as a student of the Word and human nature with 40 years as a business professional to offer a unique perspective on biblically inspired lessons.

The goal is to be a catalyst in developing a critical mindset and a fertile heart that enables a believer to love God’s Word, submit to God’s Spirit, and answer the call to serve. Janice has published two books to date: While Men Sleep in 2016 and Critical Thinkers in 2018.

Janice and her husband, Roy, have been married since 1975. They live in Gallatin, TN, where they are both actively engaged in ministry. 

In “Critical Thinkers,” the author links critical thinking and spirituality. If a complete stranger were to observe your actions and listen to your conversations for twenty-four hours with no other information available, what would they conclude concerning who or what you worship?

This work presents that the author strongly believes numerous people have lived in civilizations where they were encouraged to develop assessments and beliefs before and could have sufficient basis to comprehend the issues. Pair this with the human propensity to overrate their spectrum of insight, and it results in perpetuating fragmentation, or what she terms shallow thinking. This is a mishap that she believes can be defeated by regularly examining, evaluating, and reconstructing the thought approach. 

With well-researched facts from different Bible translations and other momentous Christian aids, Miller sets out on a journey to reveal why critical thinking is paramount to modern-day Christian living.

Here’s an excerpt from the review written by Hollywood Book Reviews’ Ephantus M. that highlights:

“Critical Thinkers is a text which ably reveals how conceptualization and brainstorming skills can come in handy for almost any situation. Christians who may have associated the words “critical thinking” with secular humanist agendas will realize that God’s Word has provided enough foundation for logic, and therefore critical thinking should be embraced to overcome present-day challenges such as the unfavorable effects of postmodernism, relativism, political expediency, and other un-biblical philosophies that have managed to hold back many people over the years.

This book is an eye-opener and easy to read and understand. It inspires the exercising of a skill which is deemed a threat to many cultures’ views of political correctness because it encourages people to see things from a different perspective; by thinking through an idea. Explore fascinating acuities into the biases and propensities which make many individuals predictably irrational in this compelling read. I highly recommended this for Christian readers of all age brackets.”
