Strong For Your Tasks won't give you a step-by-step plan for total health and fitness. It doesn't reveal the next "miracle" food or tell you how achieve the "perfect" body. Rather, the book returns to the biblical principle of stewardship as it applies to our bodies and health. Cody Wieler delves deeply into the Bible to relate health to holiness: we are "set apart," even in the ways we treat our physical selves.
Before we can even think of eating kale or lifting weights, we need to examine our hearts to be sure our attitudes toward God and our bodies are in line with the Bible. Touching on such subjects as our motivations for diet and exercise, our relationship with food, the need for rest, and the realities of disability and aging, the book reminds and inspires readers to steward their individual bodies in their particular season of life.
Through personal anecdote, general principles, and insightful questions, Strong For Your Tasks encourages everyone to identify how they might be strong for their tasks.
---------------------------------
"As believers, we desire to be strong for the tasks the Lord has for us. However, many believers are unsure of how to view the physical body in light of the Bible, let alone how to pursue health and wellness from a biblical perspective. Therefore, we need to understand what the Bible says about the body and how stewarding our health directly influences our ability to live out God's calling on our lives.
Strong for Your Tasks fills the gap between health and holiness by inspiring readers to live well for the glory of God in the areas of health and wellness. By establishing a biblical foundation for understanding the physical body and appealing to the necessity of stewardship as it pertains to health, Cody reveals how we can honor God through our lifestyle choices. Strong for Your Tasks encourages believers to examine their motivations for health and wellness while pointing readers toward stewardship as the lens through which we should view caring well for our bodies.
