A Christian Guide for a Healthy Lifestyle – Nearly 70% of Americans are either overweight or obese. This statistic points out the grave danger responsible for thousands of debilitating diseases and premature deaths. It has become so serious that many health experts believe that it not only threatens to bankrupt our national health care systems but it is now seen as a national security threat. Although scriptures tell Christians to glorify God in both their body and spirit, Christians have become active participants in the unhealthy lifestyle choices contributing to the present health crisis. In Healthy Vessels, author and devout believer Jim Williamson, who is a health practitioner, offers guidance to the secular world and Christians alike for exercising self-control and responsibility and for making smart, healthy lifestyle choices.
