God created people to be well in body, mind, and spirit-a unified
and healthy whole. Christian Paths to Health and Wellness, Third
Edition, helps undergraduate students explore key topics that
affect their health and well-being and apply what they learn to
their daily lives. This updated text examines wellness from a
holistic perspective, delving into how students can thrive in body,
mind, and spirit. Students will learn how to more fully understand
God, themselves, and their purpose in life; have strong and healthy
relationships with others; develop cardiorespiratory fitness,
muscular fitness, and flexibility and mobility; have a healthy
attitude toward their bodies, eat well, and manage weight properly;
understand and apply good sleep hygiene to maximize alertness; and
adopt emotionally healthy habits and deal with stress in a
constructive way. All of this material is based on current research
and is delivered through a faith-based perspective that will help
students apply aspects of behavior modification as they learn how
to take charge of the health of their bodies, minds, and spirits.
Written by highly respected Christian academics, the text includes
chapter objectives, a glossary that defines key terms from each
chapter, and easy-to-read charts that highlight specific
information. This latest edition also features a new web study
guide that makes Christian Paths to Health and Wellness a
particularly valuable and unique resource. For each chapter in the
text, the web study guide supplies readers with an introductory
self-assessment activity on the chapter's topic; application and
learning activities; self-reflection writing prompts to help
students process the chapter's content; suggested websites and
readings for further exploration of the topic; and an interactive
key terms quiz. (The web study guide is included with all new print
books and some ebooks. For ebook formats that don't provide access,
the web study guide is available separately.) Christian Paths to
Health and Wellness offers instructors free access to online
ancillaries, including an instructor guide, a presentation package,
and a test package. "This text," says coauthor Peter Walters, "is a
book about accepting our God-given roles and capacities. Then
empowered by the Spirit of God, we can make healthy choices
regarding our mind, body, and soul. The end result is what ancients
called 'the good life,' current academics call 'human flourishing,'
and what scriptures call 'shalom'." "Personal wellness is often
achieved through mental and physical discipline," adds coauthor
John Byl. "However, it is also important to open yourself to the
power of God through the Holy Spirit. It is written in Bible that
'the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control' (Galatians
5:22-23). Ideas related to the fruit of the Spirit have been woven
through the text, and a couple of chapters offer brief vignettes on
a particular fruit of the Spirit, which demonstrates how the Spirit
heals and makes one well." Christian Paths to Health and Wellness,
Third Edition, will equip students with the knowledge and tools
they need to adopt healthy lifestyles in all aspects of their
lives. And that lifestyle will be pleasing to God and help them
live out their purpose.
