About this listen

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-listen for anyone seeking new and compelling motivation for strengthening their bodies and fortifying their souls.

This book is enthusiastic encouragement for Christians facing the daily discipline of maintaining their physical body. The last quarter ties this disciplined physical effort to spiritual humility and holiness. It's not a how-to book, it's a why-to exhortation.
Enjoyable listen, recommended.

I enjoyed the mix of scripture and quotes to support his book. The reading performance was enthusiastic without being rushed.

This is a refreshing stance. I personally am in constant conflict with treating my as the temple of God.

Our current Christian culture almost seems afraid to mention stewardship of the body.
