I actually did read most of the chapters in this book (the ones that pertained to me in my stage of life, anyway). As all the Focus On the Family reference books, this one is terrific.

It presents every aspect of health - physical, mental, and spiritual - and explains how to take care yourself in each one. It also covers special issues like women's health, men's health, senior health, sexual health, sleep issues. It'a great manual for overall health and well-being, with a Christian slant on everything. I'll probably refer to it from time to time.

Richardson is a "big picture" person who has caught the overall movement of God in differing cultures/people groups over the millenia of human history. If one wonders how impossible the task of reaching unreached people groups is, this book will assure the reader that God has already gone before the missionary preparing the path by preserving elements of ancient knowledge of God within those cultures to open up the way for those who finally arrive at the doorstep of today's still unreached peoples.
