Synopsis

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.

In the quest to become more physically fit, I decided to read this book to make sure I'm doing it for the right reasons. This was a fantastic read. Thomas argues that we are called to serve God with "heart, soul, mind and STRENGTH" and that not taking care of the one body God gives us is poor stewar......more

Goodreads review by Steven R. on May 04, 2012

This book completely blew me away. It was an amazing read. I think it should be in every church library and on every pastor's desk. It is a wakeup call to all Christians that we are body, mind and spirit and that in order to love and serve God to the best of our abilities we need to be nurturing and......more

I really enjoy this author and he did an excellent job with a delicate subject! SO needed in our Christian culture and I found myself convicted in many places.
