This is an excellent book. The author, a medical doctor, through easy to understand charts and graphs, explains how most of the patients he sees could have prevented, or lessened the effects, of their illness. The author also recommends simple cost-effective strategies for taking better care of ourselves. The book is written from a Christian perspective.

I purchased this book as a supplemental book in a Bible study. I did not buy it because I wanted to read it, but it just doesn't apply to me at this stage of my life of retirement. I can see that it might have been useful much earlier in my life when I was raising children and working.

My good friend suggested this book to me because I seem to work all the time. I didn't have much margin in my life and in the event something went slightly wrong it became a crisis. Finding areas to increase margin is a function of this great book. If you feel overwhelmed at times, get this book and read it when you can. I felt better one day and it may have been because I usually read from this book a couple times a week. Jeffco
