This book is awesome

This book breaks down in Biblical terms how one should take care of his or her TEMPLE, the body:-)

A groundbreaking perspective on health and wellness!!

I recommend this book. Unlike other books on fitness and health, Joe emphasizes our body is the greatest gift and we have the obligation to enhance our overall fitness to show our love to God for this greatest gift. On the top of that, exercise is never obsession on appearance and physique, but with the primary goal to glorify God with the body, God's temple. Joe conveys a very significant message that, improving health is out of spiritual motivation, working on it for God and never self centered. I certainly recommend this book to every Christian and health focused readers.
