Understanding Spiritual and Physical Health


Book Description

A healthy Christian needs to cultivate both spiritual and physical well-being. Yet often we can be so spiritual that we neglect our physical, natural selves. On the other hand, we can also be so caught up in our physical health that we may neglect working out our spiritual selves as well. So how do we find a balance? And what if God even provided us with a guide to make ourselves our very best both inside and outside? In Understanding Spiritual and Physical Health: A Biblical Perspective, author Troy A. Roberson shares his passion for fitness and health and his years of studying the Word of God to help believers learn how to be healthy both in body and in spirit. Roberson explains how the Bible is Gods guidebook for living, and in it God shows his children how their bodies and spirits are connected; this connection means that the richer we are in spirit, the more healing, health, and well-being we will have in our natural lives as well. The apostle John tells us, Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as they soul prospereth (3 John 2). By putting into practice the advice and suggestions for how to live a good life of health and wellness through nutrition and a godly lifestyle from a biblical perspective, you too can enjoy the blessings of Christs restoration.

You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

She offers a vibrant retelling of the biblical account of the Bleeding Woman that parallels her story—and yours, too.
