Rating: Summary: This Book is a Blessing! Review: "What the Bible Says about Healthy Living" is one of the best nutrition books I've ever read. It makes complete and total sense and is fun and easy to read. I appreciate all the research and study done by Dr. Rex and it was so cool to see all that God has designed and intended for our bodies is proven medically by a Medical Doctor. It was also great to learn how much God loves us by all that he commanded. He commands weren't just a random list of rules but they were rules that He knew would benefit us because he created us! This book revolutionized my thinking about health and nutrition in general. Thank you Dr. Russell for all your hard work to get this book out!!

Rating: Summary: In some respects, good, but in other respects, HORRIBLE! Review: "~Please bear with me. I am a Christian woman, and I am very dismayed to see how well-received this book is. I suppose it belongs to a whole genre of modern "Christian" reading, which justifies its idiosyncrasies, such as a whole underdog approach to theology, and too much talk of football. Maybe that's why I don't understand, because I don't read Bill Bright or Billy Graham."~ justify his opinion that God exists. Russell even quotes an astrologer to emphasize this point! Why do we need an ASTROLOGER'S words in our minds? Is that so healthful? I get the impression that Dr. Russell did not write for a Christian audience but for a bunch of skeptics."~ betrays a T.V. mentality which I find repulsive. Dr. Russell also speaks of foods being "naked.""~ on earth could never have existed! God knew that, so he gave us this molecule." As if God had so little power."~ think The Three Principles are corny and self-flattering. It's as if Dr. Russell invented a little trademark so that you'll always refer to him when you discuss the Bible and foods. Nice marketing ploy, though.

Alot of the problems that people in general experience was brought on by themselves by poor eating habits.

After applying Dr. Russell's 3 major eating principles, developing an active lifestyle, I have lost 21 pounds and counting! I'm happy to be returning to what God originally wanted me to be! Thank you, Dr. Russell.

Rating: Summary: Discover God's Plan for Feeling Better and Living Longer! Review: At last, the definitive diet plan-taken straight from God's Word. Dr. Rex Russell presents three practical principles that will you improve your physical and spiritual health.

Rating: Summary: If only I had read it sooner... Review: Dr. Rex Russell's book is wonderful! After reading his book, I have gained a new insight into the types of foods that I eat. He constantly references the scripture in his endeavor to explain God's plan for food in our lives. Dr. Russell also uses medical research studies to outline the points of his book. I feel this is a great combination for those folks that aren't "super-spiritual" but want to improve their lives. Personally, I am very excited about putting God's plan for food into action. Please note, salvation and holiness are not determined by the foods you eat. The old laws are removed, and we are saved by grace. Dr. Russell expressly makes this point throughout his book. You will have to make your own choices, but Dr. Russell definitely gets you thinking about the poisons we consume on a daily basis. On a side note: don't read this book if you believe in evolution, it will probably change your mind.
Rating: Summary: Fantastic and Informational Review: Dr. Russell has elucidated so clearly the way in which God has intended us to eat. The three bibilical principles are easy to understand and implement. The book has helped us to change the way our family eats. As a result, we are feeling much better.
