5.0 out of 5 stars Eye Opening, August 31, 2000

This review is from: Greater Health God's Way: Seven Steps to Inner and Outer Beauty (Paperback)

When I read this book God had already been working on my heart to begin moving myself and my family toward better health. Yet I had no idea how. The book was revolutionary to me. I had never heard of how fasting benefits health, and how eating pure food can make such a difference in health. I've been changing my pattern of eating and living in ways suggested by Stormie and have noticed a lot of changes in the way I feel. I HIGHLY recommend this book! It was truely eye opening to me, a person who was raised on fast food and the easy way to everything!

This review is from: Greater Health God's Way: Seven Steps to Inner and Outer Beauty (Paperback)

This is such an incredible book, for so many reasons. Foremost is that Omartian concentrates on healthy living in general, and only one chapter is about food. Only one chapter is about exercise. So food and exercise are important, but they aren't idols, and neither is having a "perfect" body. Living well is what's important (including good relationships, good rest, good sleep, fresh air, etc.), and not just living well in an Epicurean sense, but according to the divine will and wisdom. As a result, this book is encouraging rather than condemning. You're probably already doing some of the steps. When I first started, I went all the way with Omartian's all-natural recommendations; since then I've modified her suggestions somewhat, but she helped me make the break and start making changes. The proof is in the pudding: almost two years after reading this book and putting it into practice, I look and feel like a different person.

This review is from: Greater Health God's Way: Seven Steps to Inner and Outer Beauty (Paperback)

I recently read this book in my desperation to lose weight. What I have gained from reading this book surpasses any weight that I will lose. This book should be read by everyone, regardless of your weight. If you truly desire to be healthy and to do it God's way, this is a book you must read. I have been blessed and inspired by the revelation of living a lifestyle of health.
