Basic Steps to Godly Fitness: Strengthening Your Body and Soul in Christ

Author: Laurette Willis

Have you ever committed to a diet or an exercise program, only to lose interest and quit long before reaching your goal? Who hasn't!

Popular speaker and certified personal trainer Laurette Willis shows you why most diets do more harm than good. She offers a much more biblical and helpful whole-person approach to fitness-a lifestyle that will enrich your spirit, refresh your soul, and nourish your body. Her inspiring personal testimony and practical suggestions show you how to turn mundane daily activities and exercises into acts of worship.

America's obesity crisis and the attendant (albeit largely fruitless) anxiety about health, diet, and exercise have now begun to converge with Christian spirituality. This book by actor, speaker, and aerobics instructor Willis is a useful and sensible representative of this fast-growing field. Part diet manual, part exercise regimen, part spiritual pep talk, it expounds BASIC ("Body And Soul In Christ"), showing the overweight and idle how to resist Satan through diet and exercise; she even has a Christian alternative to yoga.

Keeping Control: Understanding and Overcoming Fecal Incontinence

Author: Marvin M Schuster

Keeping Control is a compassionate, medically reliable, and thoroughly informative resource for anyone who wants to understand the possible causes of fecal incontinence, learn about important advances in management and treatment, and do something about the problem. Written by a noted Johns Hopkins physician and an experienced medical writer and editor, Keeping Control explains the mechanics of normal bowel function and describes the latest medical findings about what can cause incontinence, from pre-existing conditions and diseases to accidents and childbirth injuries. It thoroughly explains the wide range of treatment options, including remarkable successes with biofeedback and habit training. It includes special advice for managing incontinence in children and older people. And it offers important advice on how to work with your physician to take control of the problem.

Keeping Control also includes a glossary of terms and valuable information about contacting support groups and using additional resources. An epilogue by Nancy Norton, founder of the International Foundation for Bowel Dysfunction, describes the personal challenge of living with fecal incontinence and explains how she and many others have found the courage to cope with the problem and live life to the fullest.
