Rating: Summary: Full of wisdom based on experience and research Review: I just attended a seminar where Dr. Russell spoke about this very subject. His words have motivated me to make the choice to change what I eat. There is so much information in this book about the foods we eat that if known, we would never choose to eat them. In this book Dr. Russell gives an easy to remember and apply 3 step plan for eating God's way. He encourages us to eat what God provides, but is quick to point out that much of what we eat today is far from what God provided and presents the research, evidence, and scripture to support the facts.
Rating: Summary: fantastic Review: I thought this was a great book.You can take all of the rest of the diet books and burn them.
Rating: Summary: Finally a book about health that makes sense Review: I was not even really interested in eating healthy when my wife read this book. She kept telling me about things she read that sounded very interesting. I then read the book and it change my view about food completely. God has an awesome design if we would only trust Him and not trust our own 'wisdom'. This book makes it very clear that God has a plan for our health and we can be greatly blessed if we follow it.
Rating: Summary: Loved the book! Review: I whole heartedly agree with the Biblical principles given by Doctor Russell, but would like to find a cookbook that applies these principles. Any suggestions?
Rating: Summary: answer to prayer! Review: I work at a Naturopathic mail order company where we have an entire library of health books from A-Z. I have read,looked over, and been confused by many with conflicting health info for the public to ponder. This book, from a spiritual, practical and even a little comical perspective, clears up so many questions about the Lord and his plans for us to be healthy in a world of junk food. If I could only keep one book about health for the rest of my life, this is the one I would keep. Thank you Rex for writing this book, thank you Lord for putting it in my hands!
Rating: Summary: This is One Great Family Health Book! Review: If you are looking to better the health of your family, this book is the only book outside of the Bible that you will need. It is one of those books that is definitely worth reading more than once; as each time you read it, you pick-up on different things and the more you read it, the more you may find yourself "automatically" following the principles of it. This book really makes sense!
Rating: Summary: Want to LIVE? Get this! Review: If you have ever wondered WHY the Bible forbade certain foods and promoted others, this book will give you your answers! The author sites modern-day scientific reasons that backs up the Biblical claims, and points out where these claims can be found in the Bible. I thought I'd get a simple eat-this-but-not-that mentality, (or worse, a never-eat-junkfood-again suggestion,) but was surprised to find specific details that one can look for in many foods, to become healthier. Now, my family gets sick only about twice a year instead of once every six weeks!
Rating: Summary: Unique! Healthy eating from a sound, medical explanation. Review: Knowing for years that I needed to improve my diet, I've often flirted with "healthy foods" and diet -- but never had it within me until reading Dr. Russell's exposition.
He makes crystal clear, with only three understandable principles, all of what one should eat (and not eat) from a medical point of view --enzymes, proteins, toxins, parasites and so on and on. His book explains for example why shellfish are not good to eat, yet why they were created in the first place. It's not at all what you might expect as he unravels and debunks some of those things we were told were unhealthy --but I now understand are not.
A compelling book for anyone who's interested in developing the "foundation blocks" for how --and why-- one should change his eating habits. Me? I'm back today to order multiple copies to give to my friends.
Rating: Summary: The Bible of Food, Diet, and a Way of Life Review: The word diet derives from the Greek diaita, which means "a manner of living," or lifestyle. Dr. Russell's book is the first of its kind to step back from the subject of food and see it for what it is - a blessing designed by the Almighty to aid in our service of him. In a day and age when our culture looks at food as trendy, or as something to be addicted to or to be avoided, Dr. Russell uncovers what the Bible says about food. He does it in a way that can be easily understood and applied. As a former chef from a 4 star restaurant and as the head of sales at a food equipment company I wish everyone, from food consumers to food producers, would read this book and apply its principles. It might cause me to have to look for a different job (one of the biblical principles that Dr. Russell rediscovers is that of eating food in as close to the form that God gives it to us in - not processed with equipment!) but it would improve peoples "manner of living" enormously! If anyone reads the book and agrees, I would welcome their contacting me. I would like to start an association of those who support the principles that Dr. Russell has rediscovered.
