Chargement... Every Body Matters: Strengthening Your Body to Strengthen Your Soulpar Gary Thomas
![]() Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. ![]() ![]() I agree with him in that we really do not address this area of our Christian lives. How we take care of our bodies now, will determine how much future ministry we can participate in. God has given us this one body to serve Him. I thought the book was a good reminder of why we want to strive to be healthy and to be mindful that God wants control over this area of my life too. ** I received this free book in exchange for an honest review from Library Thing. ![]() ![]() aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Few pastors or Christian writers have dared to approach the subject of how proper eating and an active lifestyle can affect how we serve God. Author Gary Thomas does just that. And he reaches all the way back to the apostle Paul, who wrote that we need to prime our bodies to become, "an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work." To illustrate the body/soul correlation, Thomas presents engaging and diverse stories that include a young mom who got fit through volleyball and reaped spiritual rewards in her marriage, a 300-pound pastor who realized his obesity was eroding his ministry impact, and a woman who gained the spiritual strength to survive a contentious divorce by training for a marathon. In every instance, Thomas makes a direct connection between the physical challenge and its spiritual consequence. This book is a must read for anyone seeking new and compelling motivation for strengthening their bodies and fortifying their souls. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

In this book Thomas explores the negative and positive aspects of caring for ones body. He ties the healthy body to a healthy soul. His main goal is to show that our desires should not be for the outward appearance but should be for the goal of growing closer to God.
I would recommend this book for someone who is looking to make changes in their lifestyle while staying focused on God's design.
