Product Description

In the human body, God created a perfect design, equipped with all the organs, tissues, and cells necessary for health, production, and reproduction. The problem, asserts Dr. Ben Lerner, is when we as humans interfere with God's design for our bodies. Junk food, high-stress living, and neglecting exercise are just a few of the things we do to hinder our bodies' performance.

In Body by God, Dr. Lerner offers a comprehensive plan for getting in touch with our bodies in four areas: nutrition, exercise, stress management, and time management. His 5-in-5 plan is designed to instill the good habits that will lead to optimum health benefits. Readers will learn how to get in shape with 10-minute workouts, reprogram the way they react to stress, and more. Owner's Manual Tips give specific ways to apply the material to real life. Our bodies are fearfully and wonderfully made. With the help of Body by God, readers will learn how to achieve the highest level of performance from God's handiwork.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book changed my life!, June 13, 2004

By	"tucker92692" (Davenport, FL USA) - See all my reviews

This is not just another diet book! In fact it's an "un-diet".
It offers practical and achievable ways to radically transform your life (at any stage) one step at a time.
Not just a food and fitness guide but a guide to maximize your life through time management, stress management as well as weight loss, food and exercises.
Dr. Lerner's sense of humor is encouraging and entertaining along the way. In just a short time I have increased my energy and lowered my stress and I am looking forward to more results as I continue this program.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dr. Michael L. Johnson, February 28, 2004

By	Michael L. Johnson (Sherwood, WI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A Great Book!! "Body by God" is a must read if you plan on living a healthy, happy, and organized life. Dr. Ben has helped me organize my life since reading this powerful and moving book. How, you might ask??? One example is that I have FINALLY found the balance in life that I was seeking between family(I'm married with 5 kids),work, and personal training thanks to this book. The "un-diet" is great and I loved the passages from scripture. This book is a must read and one that you will find yourself going back to time and time again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practicle and Sensible, December 11, 2003

By	Jan Eckles (Orlando, Florida) - See all my reviews

My life was transformed! The practical and biblically based instructions in The Body by God were essential in "maximizing" my life. I have been following Dr. Ben's sensible teachings for the past 6 years. During that time I've enjoyed great health and energy. At 51 years of age and 3 grown children, I am still able to eat large amounts of food and maintain my 4-petitie size. I've been able to face extremely stressful circumstances with peace and serenity. No magic formula, simply the commitment to follow the God-inspired instructions by Dr. Ben. How fortunate we all are that they are now brilliantly related in this new book!
