Praise for Faith in Motion: ""Faith in Motion is a rare and timely book that brings theology, health, and community into living conversation. With clarity and passion, Hezron Ottey shows how faith moves beyond words into embodied practice--shaping worship, witness, and holistic flourishing of body, mind, and spirit. Essential reading for anyone seeking to rediscover the Adventist health message as life in motion."" --Tihomir Lazic, Principal Lecturer in Theology, Newbold College ""Whether you're a pastor seeking to reinvigorate your congregation, a health professional integrating faith into wellness, or a believer yearning to live your faith more fully, Faith in Motion will inspire you to walk, dance, and breathe your way into deeper spiritual alignment. It's not just a book, it's a movement."" --Ruiz Warren, Principal Lecturer, Montego Bay Community College, Jamaica ""With passion and great gentleness, Hezron shares his vision for a church in which the body in movement takes its proper place. Theologically insightful and rich in practical ways of bringing and embedding change, this book brings new insight to a neglected dimension of the discipleship and mission of the Seventh Day Adventist community."" --Peter Kevern, Professor of Values in Health and Social Care, University of Staffordshire, United Kingdom
