Dr. Steve Miller, a 38-year old biomedical researcher, is struggling for tenure, a cure for manic-depressive bipolar disorder, and balance in his life- not necessarily in that order. Confronted with difficult odds, Steve is fighting for his scientific career, surrounded by an eccentric and often comical cast of researchers in his laboratory, department and institute. Despite his almost obsessive preoccupation with tenure and securing his position, Steve is inevitably plunged back in time to his traumatic childhood with a father suffering from bipolar disorder, a largely absentee mother, and a loving but dominant grandfather. As Steve realizes that he cannot escape his childhood memories, his past catches up with the present and merges in an unexpected and breath-stopping finish.Matter Over Mind is a multi-layered story that gives an in-depth but humorous view of academic scientists who are at the forefront of biomedical research. However, Matter Over Mind goes far beyond a typical glimpse behind the scenes at an academic institution- it describes the traumatic childhood and family dysfunction resulting from a parent with debilitating bipolar syndrome (formerly known as manic depressive disorder). Although this mental illness has been often ignored and treated as a rare affliction, in actuality it has been the cause of numerous broken families and its presentation has been a source for a multitude of psychologically impacted family members. In this fascinating novel, Steve Caplan has intricately interwoven the manifestations of bipolar syndrome into a clever plot set in a present day scientific institution. Spiced with humor and wit, the novel examines the impact of one's past on his present predicament and the degree to which people are in control of their own destinies.
A WORKBOOK FOR PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION.How would you like to: 1) Be restored to wholeness and inward freedom; 2) Master, not just barely manage, your emotional state; 3) Find the way out of depression and recover bright hope for your future; 4) Grow a great faith that no longer stumbles over anxieties and self-doubts; and 5) Break the power of illnesses that may be rooted in unresolved emotional issues.So many in the Body of Christ are stressed by anxious concerns, carrying deep pain from the past, depressed in heart and spirit or just plagued by that whole host of negative emotions which can so easily quench the simple joy of living and ruin our health in the process.

Each chapter is filled with "tools" for practical application so that the truths of the lessons can be shifted from the head to the heart-transforming the inner life. Would you agree that your emotional state holds the key to: your enjoyment of daily life, your ability to enjoy the Lord, your ability to be guided by God Your physical health, your relationships with others, your success in work and fruitfulness in ministry.Then set your heart "on pilgrimage" to discover the life Jesus died to give you and learn how you, too, can enter far more deeply into His peace than you could ever have imagined. Learn how to bring your wounded heart to God and receive His glorious heart for you
