What God Has to Say about Our Bodies (eBook) by

"God's eternal plan for us involves our body. We can't write off our physical life as spiritually irrelevant." —Sam Allberry There's a danger in focusing too much on the body. There's also a danger in not valuing it enough. In fact, the Bible has lots to say about the body. With the coming of Jesus, "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us"—flesh that was pierced and crushed for the sins of the world. In What God Has to Say about Our Bodies, Sam Allberry explains that all of us are fearfully and wonderfully made, and should regard our physicality as a gift. He offers biblical guidance for living, including understanding gender, sexuality, and identity; dealing with aging, illness, and death; and considering the physical future hope that we have in Christ. In this powerfully written book, you'll gain a new understanding for the immeasurable value of our bodies and God's ultimate plan to redeem them.

What God Has to Say about Our Bodies

I picked up this book because I was intrigued at the prospect of a book all about the spiritual significance of our bodies. And, I must say, this book answered questions I didn’t even realise I had. It is full of biblical truths, helpful examples and practical advice which has not only changed the way I have viewed some of the topics mentioned in the book, but has also equipped me to better deal with some of the issues which are so prevalent in our society today. God’s plan for our bodies is so much more glorious than just being something we have, dislike, struggle with and then lose. God has plans for our bodies, both in the present (however hard that may be to believe) and, mostly amazingly, in the future. Whether your physical self is something you think about too much or not at all, I would recommend giving this book a read – it might just surprise you.
