Thirty percent of American adults are obese. Thirty percent more are overweight but not yet obese. These basic statistics point out the grave danger responsible for thousands of debilitating diseases and premature deaths, a danger that threatens to financially bankrupt our national health care system. Christians, who as the "light of the world" lead by example, are active participants in the unhealthy life choices contributing to this present crisis. In "Healthy Vessels, " author and devout believer Jim Williamson, who has been a health practitioner for over thirty years, offers guidance to the secular world and Christians alike for exercising self-control and responsibility and for making smart, healthy lifestyle choices."Healthy Vessels" begins by exploring the obesity crisis-the underlying habits causing it, its dangers, and what it means for the future; then Williamson melds scriptural advice on healthy habits with his experience and research in nutrition and exercise. The result is a roadmap for those of us struggling with preventable health problems to understand more about our bodies and how to make them healthy vessels.Drugs and surgery will not fix the problems facing America today. The battle for our health and happiness is a struggle against outside influences and personal impulses. Through applying a little discipline and striving for healthy habits, we can overcome these challenges and truly honor our creator.

Rushing to Yoga details how awakenings may be found in distant countries as we search to find ourselves, but they also can occur daily in our lives. The stories included describe how we can benefit from our daily lives if we only take a moment to stop rushing around and allow the learning-the remembering-to occur. We don't need to spend a fortune, flying to Bali or Italy. Our awakenings, our remembering can occur right here in our daily lives, as long as we have a sense of humor and some fabulous friends to help us identify them and remember them. Rushing to Yoga is based on real stories about author Marilee Bresciani's life, stories that are like what many middle-class Americans may have experienced as they search for meaning. She shares these stories, couched in humor, with the intent that they will inspire reflection and discourse. There are no answers in this book. Rather, readers may find humor in their own adversities and use them as opportunities to reflect upon the lessons learned. When adversities are faced with humor, and when lessons are learned in our daily lives, we should share those lessons with others, so that we truly can grow in joy, love, and peace.
