Prayfit: Your Guide to A Healthy Body and A Stronger Faith in 28 Days
From the exercise physiologist of Tyler Perry and Mario Lopez
comes PrayFit, a whole person fitness system designed to
strengthen body and deepen faith. At its core, PrayFit is
about effort: giving your best in two areas that are vital to
well-being--faith and fitness. The underlying approach is simple:
Make a daily appointment to spend quality time with the Lord and to
exercise.
This 28-day plan guides readers of any fitness level to begin a
workout routine that can be done at home with little to no
equipment, to make small but effective changes in their diet, and
to grow in biblical knowledge and spiritual strength. As they
follow the specially designed meal plans and workouts, readers will
see the physical results of their efforts almost immediately--and
as they reflect on the daily devotional reading (contributions from
Pastor Jimmy Page, VP of Field Ministry and National Director of
Wellness for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes) and Scripture
verses, they will begin to understand the eternal dimension of
giving their best. Living God's promised abundant life isn't only
about faith . . . though that's where it starts. PrayFit is
the best way to claim that promise both inside and out.
