DISCOVER LONG-TERM SATISFACTION AND VITALITY Countless diets, cleanses, and thirty-day challenges are geared to help people lose weight, heal their digestion, and have more energy. Yet these temporary protocols fall short when it comes to true transformation. Nutritionist Carly Pollack lived a vicious cycle of weight ups and downs until trial and error, and over a decade of formal study in health and healing, led her to the insights she has since shared with thousands. In Feed Your Soul, she presents her unique understanding of body science, brain wiring, and spiritual principles to facilitate real, lasting change. Carly helps you reframe your thinking to, for example, see comfort foods as the numbing toxins they truly are and focus on long-term goals rather than immediate gratification. This no-nonsense guide will show you how feeding your soul can change your life, your health, and your body.
Wholesome food has healing properties, and when we purify our diet, a number of healing reactions may begin to arise from unresolved past experiences and strong emotions. These emotions get stored in our organs and connective tissue as emotional scar tissue, creating energy blockages that lead to pain. In Feed Your Body, Feed Your Soul, author Ara Wiseman outlines how eating the right amount of pure nutritious food can help begin to release and eliminate these unresolved emotions we have stored and carry around with us. Our bodies are very forgiving, and when we stop our harmful habits and behaviors and replace them with healthier ones, nature can give us a whole new opportunity for a wondrous life. Somewhere deep inside we all yearn for emotional balance and hope to find peace with the most fundamental necessity of lifeour nourishment. Between the covers of this book, Ara shows us how. In her book, Feed Your Body, Feed Your Soul, Ara Wiseman gives us an intimate glimpse into her own journey towards wholeness. She provides the essential building blocks for good nutritive practices, but, more importantly, places this useful information into a wholistic context. In the process of developing her themes, Ara provides liberal sprinklings of philosophical spices and condiments to enliven the dish. These quotations, aphorisms, and affirmations from mystics and spiritual philosophers inspire us to take a loving look at ourselves and give us the courage to choose a nourishing and healing path. Dr. Anthony Godfrey, PhD, ND, author of Deep Immunity Ara Wiseman has written a multi-dimensional book that not only shows us the way to excellent physical health, but also the process of wholeness in relationships. Highly recommended. John Randolph Price, bestselling author and chairman of the Quartus Foundation

The New York Times bestselling author and senior fellow at the Discovery Institute blends science and religion in this thoughtful guide that teaches modern believers how to use the leading wellness trend today—intermittent fasting—as a means of spiritual awakening, adopting the traditions our Christians ancestors practiced for centuries into daily life. Wellness minded people today are increasingly turning to intermittent fasting to bolster their health. But we aren’t the first people to abstain from eating for a purpose. This routine was a common part of our spiritual ancestors’ lives for 1,500 years. Jay Richards argues that Christians should recover the fasting lifestyle, not only to improve our bodies, but to bolster our spiritual health as well. In Eat, Fast, Feast, he combines forgotten spiritual wisdom on fasting and feasting with the burgeoning literature on ketogenic diets and fasting for improved physical and mental health. Based on his popular series “Fasting, Body and Soul” in The Stream, Eat, Fast, Feast explores what it means to substitute our hunger for God for our hunger for food, and what both modern science and the ancient monastics can teach us about this practice. Richards argues that our modern diet—heavy in sugar and refined carbohydrates—locks us into a metabolic trap that makes fasting unfruitful and our feasts devoid of meaning. The good news, he reveals, is that we are beginning to resist the tyranny of processed foods, with millions of people pursuing low carb, ketogenic, paleo, and primal diets. This growing body of experts argue that eating natural fat and fasting is not only safe, but far better than how we eat today. Richards provides a 40-day plan which combines a long-term “nutritional ketosis” with spiritual disciplines. The plan can be used any time of the year or be adapted to a penitential season on the Christian calendar, such as Advent or Lent. Synthesizing recent science with ancient wisdom, Eat, Fast, Feast brings together the physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of intermittent fasting to help Christians improve their lives and their health, and bring them closer to God.
Bestselling author and modern-day prophet Tony Campolo believes that one of the best ways to tell the grand story of the gospel is to tell stories of everyday life where God is at work...just as Jesus did during his earthly ministry. This collection of stories from Tony's lifelong friendships and international travels allow readers to "overhear" the gospel at work around the world. Set around Romans 8, the stories center on eight gospel themes: freedom of condemnation, new life in Christ, intimacy with God, the call to rescue creation, living with hope, praying in the Spirit, God's plans for us, and the assurance we need. Whether humorous or poignant, each one is an unforgettable echo of God at work around us and within us.
