Publisher Description
How healthy eating and an active lifestyle can affect how we serve God.
Author Gary Thomas approaches a subject that few pastors or Christian writers have dared tackle. In Every Body Matters, 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.

Every Body Matters
I just loved, loved, loved this book. I purchased this book after listening to Focus on the Family. I was intrigued by a part of the book the author was reading about the sloth in the Bible and the modern day version of it. I finished this book in four days. It is truly an inspirational book. I have been on my journey to getting healthy and fit but I came to a halt. After reading this book I am getting back on track. We should not become soft but ready for what good work God has for us. Thank you for such a great book I am now inspired to reboot my fitness and healthy lifestyle. If you feel it is time for a change. That you are tired of feeling. The way you feel. Ask God to help you and pick up this book it will help you in the right direction. God Bless
