Read Bod4God today and enlist in the healthy army of the fit and faithful!"" Darren Baroni, MD, member, American College of Gastroenterology;attending gastroenterologist ""Americans are in a fight for their health against a formidable 'Goliath': obesity. For years, the scientific community has told us what 'stones' will weaken the giant: good nutrition and exercise. But translating bench-top research into everyday living is the challenge. In Bod4God, Pastor Reynolds teaches us to be the 'David.' Armed with the slingshot of God's Word, you will launch healthy, up-to-date, scientific principles of exercise and nutrition to fight head-on the epidemic of obesity and topple the giant!"" Elizabeth P. Berbano, MD, MPH, fellow, American College of Physicians; certified, American Board of Internal Medicine ""One area of teaching that seems to be neglected in the church today is the area of our own health. The Bible tells us that our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, but do we really treat our bodies with that value in mind? That's why I'm so excited about Bod4God. Steve brings biblical principles to bear to help everyone with weight loss, exercise, and staying healthy. Every Christian should read this book-now!"" Jonathan Falwell, pastor, Thomas Road Baptist Church, Lynchburg, Virginia ""Bod4God has produced more sustainable weight loss for its participants than any other program that I have been involved with in my over thirty years as a dietitian. The focus on God and on losing weight for the right reasons is genuinely inspiring. Vivian Hutson, registered dietitian, MHA, RD, FACHE ""Bod4God is a much-needed reminder that God created our bodies as tools for His work and, as such, His Word has plenty to say about how we treat them. I first met Steve when he joined my coaching network, and I have been impressed with his insights. We would all be wise to take his words to heart. After all, our bodies are the handiwork of God, meant to aid us in carrying His message to the world. Without health, none of us can be very effective. Kudos to Steve for bringing this issue out of the dark!"" Nelson Searcy, lead pastor, Journey Church; founder, www.ChurchLeaderInsights.com ""Pastor Reynolds is a modern-day prophet who strikes at the heart of the unhealthy lifestyle of most Americans and many members of the Christian community. His biblically based Bod4God is a credible program that could spark a movement toward weight control and healthier living. I heartily endorse this well-written, exciting book."" James M. Stern, MD, fellow, American College of Surgeons ""Steve Reynolds has a great spirit of discipline and commitment to Jesus Christ, which is reflected in this book. You should read Bod4God to catch the spirit-not just the practical lessons but the spiritual lessons, as well. Steve has put the right priority in weight loss-a person's relationship to God-and from that discipline concerning the 'temple of the Holy Spirit' they can lose weight."" Elmer L.
