Paul wrote to the Corinthians that the members of the church
are like parts of the body—read chapter 12 of 1 Corinthians—it’s easy for me to
think about my body that way, feet, hands, stomach, head. But when it gets to
the intangibles it’s a little more difficult. With that in mind, I saw the
title and read the back cover for Living
Fit: Making Your Life Count by Pursuing a Healthy You by Ronnie W. Floyd (B&H,
2018) I knew I wanted to read this book.
Floyd reminds us that just as the parts of the body are
meant to work together, so are those things that many of us tend to
compartmentalize. You know those people who think being a Christian is
something they do on Sunday morning. But their finances, health, relationships,
jobs and all the other things on that list are things that they’re in charge of.
But in this fun book Dr Floyd shows us how being healthy is
more than just having your blood pressure and cholesterol under control. He walks
us through a series of things that lead us out of compartmentalization and into
a life of unified congruency. As we read on the back cover, “Ronnie Floyd will
help you pursue a healthy tomorrow…spiritually, physically, relationally,
financially, and emotionally.”
We all want to be healthy, and I find this book to be a
great place to start the journey to a new and healthy you. Of course, you have
to do more than just read it—you also have to apply the principles.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for a review. I
was not required to write a positive review.
5/5
