Sometimes the Bible's instructions seem legalistic or even obsolete. But what if these laws are evidence that God cares? What if the ancient truths in the Bible actually show us the way to a healthy life, the kind of life we are looking for? As both a pastor and a medical doctor, Philip Carlson brings a unique perspective to the connection between following God's guidelines and wellness in our lives. As he demystifies God's expectations regarding family relationships, nutrition, sexuality, the environment, and more, Carlson's conclusions-backed up by recent research-may surprise you. Here is your invitation to see how God desires your greatest good. Book jacket.
