Nourishing Body and Soul

So you must honor God with your body. -1 Corinthians 6:20b We humans are supposed to honor God with our bodies. After all, our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit. In deference to the Holy Spirit we are expected to be well. If we refrain from abusing our bodies, we'll experience continual good health. Abuse comes in many forms. Not only is there physical and nutritional abuse, there is emotional and spiritual as well. You don't have to be sick. And you can die healthy! Dr. Piersma served in the U.S. Army Air Force in 1945 and 1946. He received his B.S. and D.V.M. degrees at MSU. He specialized in Pathology and worked for the USDA in poultry cancer research. After studying World Missions at the Moody Bible Institute, the Piersmas joined the Latin America Mission. Norman and Donna served in Colombia 25 years as church planters, teachers, headed all animal projects and founded Christian Care for Colombian Children. While working in mission administration in the U.S., Rev. Piersma was told he had 6 months to live due to metastatic melanoma cancer. That was in 1991. Read about all he has discovered since that time concerning how to get well and stay well. The Bible teaches that Jesus came "not to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many." As His followers, you and I have been called into His service for other's sake. But you know something, it's hard to serve when you're sick. In the average Bible-believing church these days you'll get good teaching on stewardship of our time, talents, and treasures. . . . but where's the teaching about our "temples," our bodies? Where can we learn how to effectively take care of our health, while serving in a sick world? With this book Norman Piersma, a man who practices what he preaches, makes an important and valuable contribution to the voices teaching about Biblical stewardship of health. Buy two copies.
