EVERY PARENT NEEDS THIS BOOK AS A REFERENCE

It's a multi-billion-dollar industry: dieting. Every year, someone comes up with a new spin on the age-old question of how to stay fit. When I was growing up, we dutifully memorized our four food group chart, which was later replaced by the food pyramid. I was shocked to learn recently that the food pyramid wasn't based on true scientific research, but on government subsidy politics. So, once again, we're told to learn something new.

Thankfully, one book never changes: the Bible. That's why Dr. Rex Russell's book should be on every parent's bookshelf: it serves as a companion to God's Word, explaining in laymen's terms how to eat based on the Creator's plan. And it's chock full of warm and witty anecdotes from Dr. Russell's research and life work.

Despite our massive improvements in sanitation, nutrition, and medical research, studies show the average American's lifespan could DECREASE by as much as five years in the coming decades. Why is that? It's because we eat too much, eat the wrong things, and we're too FAT! More than 60% of adults and 30% of children are overweight or obese, putting themselves at a higher risk of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and a variety of other illnesses.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT HEALTHY LIVING is based on three simple principles: 1) Eat the foods God created for you. 2) Don't alter God's design. 3) Don't let any food or drink become your God. This book also has a chapter on fasting, which is a topic everyone needs to understand. You see examples of it throughout the Bible, but how many of us actually practice it habitually?

Dr. Russell tells the case of a nine-year-old girl with severe dyslexia who was undergoing expensive therapies and treatments, yet still couldn't read. The surprise came after she fasted a few days from having the flu. She could read! Her parents discovered her learning problems were diet-related. They learned she was sensitive to sugar, corn, white flour, margarine, honey, and other frequently eaten foods.

I think many kids who are diagnosed with ADD and other disorders could be cured through cutting processed food out of their diets and getting hours and hours of fresh air and exercise outside instead of being forced to sit still indoors. Easier said than done, of course. But it's still a lifestyle to aim for.

This is a book I bought on the recommendation of Sue Becker of the Bread Beckers in Atlanta. I try to read it once a year to remind myself of the health truths found in the Bible. It's a staple to add to every mom's shelf of cookbooks -- and gives hope to those suffering from health problems. I also like George Malkmus' Hallelujah Diet and books, though eating a mostly raw diet is tough when trying to feed kids. Still, it is something to keep in mind, and it's a diet that is Biblically based and has cured thousands from severe disease.

Well-Balanced

This is the only well-balanced health/nutrition book I've ever read, because it's the only one based on a consistent standard. Other nutrition-related books are based predominately on the prevailing scientific research, which changes radically every few years, leaving followers on a nutritional roller coaster. Dr. Russell, on the other hand, understands that all true science lines up with Scriptural revelation. Thus, his book is backed up with scientific research, but centered around the infallible, inerrant Word of God. If you trust that the Creator knows what your body needs for fuel, you will appreciate Dr. Russell's simple guidelines and thorough explanations of why they work.

Scripturally Sound

Excellant Book - We should have realized before that God had a plan for keeping us well. Using the principles in this book can change your life and that of your family.

What the Bible Says About Healthy Living

A very good book but it is too full of repetitions. This book could have been condensed.

awesome book

This book is a really good read. I have enjoyed it so far. I MUST admit I am not perfect (as we all know no one is), but it is such a great guideline and a must have for those who are serious about their health. I love the fact that it is from a Biblical view point . So many things were mentioned that I would have never though of. Again, it is a great book. I hope it is enjoyed as much by others.
