Product Description

Book Description

In the human body, God created a perfect design, equipped with all the organs, tissues, and cells necessary for health, production, and reproduction. The problem, asserts Dr. Ben Lerner, is when we as humans interfere with Gods design for our bodies. Junk food, high-stress living, and neglecting exercise are just a few of the things we do to hinder our bodies performance.

In Body by God, Dr. Lerner offers a comprehensive plan for getting in touch with our bodies in four areas: nutrition, exercise, stress management, and time management. His 5-in-5 plan is designed to instill the good habits that will lead to optimum health benefits. Readers will learn how to get in shape with 10-minute workouts, reprogram the way they react to stress, and more. Owners Manual Tips give specific ways to apply the material to real life. Our bodies are fearfully and wonderfully made. With the help of Body by God, readers will learn how to achieve the highest level of performance from Gods handiwork.

This review is from: Body by God: The Owners Manual for Maximized Living (Hardcover)

This is not just another diet book! In fact it's an "un-diet".
It offers practical and achievable ways to radically transform your life (at any stage) one step at a time.
Not just a food and fitness guide but a guide to maximize your life through time management, stress management as well as weight loss, food and exercises.
Dr. Lerner's sense of humor is encouraging and entertaining along the way. In just a short time I have increased my energy and lowered my stress and I am looking forward to more results as I continue this program.

Is it all the pot lucks? Who knows. We need to read all books on health and nutrition and God's Word on healing. Check out also "A More Excellent Way" by pastor Henry Wright. Good book on the spiritual roots of disease. "Deadly Emotions" by Doc Don Colbert also will keep stinking thinking from destroying your temple.
