Summary
Living in an age dominated by screens, for many life is sedentary and it is increasingly difficult to prioritize physical activity. This book explores how stewarding our bodies can serve the soul, honor God, and serve others. Combining biblical texts with practical guidance, Mathis encourages readers to embrace moderate exercise as a way to deepen their knowledge and enjoyment of Christ and reflect his love in the world. By placing Christ at the center of physical training, readers will discover a greater joy in exercise and a corresponding deeper joy in their relationship with God.
