Book Description
Tired of avoiding your reflection in the mirror? Feel like you're never going to break free from this struggle to lose weight? Poor body image and weight loss struggles plague women of all ages. Whether we're actually overweight or not, there's an ongoing struggle to feel comfortable in our bodies. We feel like we need to do more and be more and lose more weight to look good enough and to feel loved. But losing weight and exercising is not how we overcome these struggles. We overcome them by building our lives on a foundation of faith. We must begin to see our struggles in a different light by seeing ourselves in a different light, as the fearfully and wonderfully made woman that God created each of us to be. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. The Bible tells us this in Psalm 139 but too many women struggle to embrace this truth. This faith and fitness devotional will take you on a journey to seeing yourself the way that God sees you. In the process you will learn practical tips to living a fit and healthy life that is sustainable. For the first time you'll see your body as a temple to be cared for and honored the way it was meant to be. Above all else you will become more aware of God's love for you just the way you are. The book includes a scripture, devotional content, and action step and prayer for each day followed by a journal page where you are encouraged to record how you took the action step, maybe your own prayer, or how God is working in your life.

Book Description
This book examines evangelical dieting and fitness programs and provides a systematic approach of this diverse field with its wide variety of programs. When evangelical Christians engage in fitness and dieting classes in order to “glorify God,” they often face skepticism. This book approaches devotional fitness culture in North America from a religious studies perspective, outlining the basic structures, ideas, and practices of the field. Starting with the historical backgrounds of this current, the book approaches both practice and ideology, highlighting how devotional fitness programs construe their identity in the face of various competing offers in religious and non-religious sectors of society. The book suggests a nuanced and complex understanding of the relationship between sports and religion, beyond ‘simple’ functional equivalency. It provides insights into the formation of secular and religious body ideals and the way these body ideals are sacralized in the frame of an evangelical worldview.

Book Description
The Christian life is built on three seemingly unremarkable practices: reading the Bible, prayer, and fellowship with other believers. However, according to David Mathis, such “habits of grace” are the God-designed channels through which his glorious grace flows—making them life-giving practices for all Christians. Whether it’s hearing God’s voice (the Word), having his ear (prayer), or participating in his body (fellowship), such spiritual rhythms of the Christian life have the power to awaken our souls to God’s glory and stir our hearts for lifelong service in his name. What’s more, these seemingly simple practices grant us access to a host of spiritual blessings that we can only begin to imagine this side of eternity—and the incredible joy that such blessings bring to God’s children today.

Book Description
The body cannot be separated from the spirit in this life. Just as our Lord Jesus had need of the donkey's colt when He rode into Jerusalem (see Luke 19:31), so you too need your body in this life. If your body could speak like the donkey in Numbers 22:28, what would it say to you? Fitness should not be about glorifying the flesh. As disciples we are called to work for a spiritual harvest. You will find it increasingly more difficult to work for the harvest when you get out of breath just climbing the stairs. Get inspired to improve the stewardship of your body and deepen your faith at the same time with this book.
