Synopsis

Some best-selling books on health smother women with stringent, guilt-inducing diets or exercise regimens, but Living the Good Life breathes fresh air into every woman's dreams of being stronger, better-more. Ruth McGinnis comes alongside readers to motivate and inspire, not confront, with the secrets she has discovered to the good life.

McGinnis' three-pronged approach is simple: Recognize the whole person, with tips on how to best feed and exercise the body and soul; Tame the challenge of our times, with help on how to be effective and deliberate in a demanding culture; Focus on the power of choice, with insights that equip readers to claim change.

Women looking for a new approach to total wellness will be encouraged to live healthier, and more abundantly, through stories, anecdotes, and doable ideas. The author's message of aspiration and grace, in emotional, physical, and spiritual life, has transformed her, her readers, and her clients-including Amy Grant, who wrote a foreword to this book.

Living the Good Life is a completely revised and updated edition of The Good Life, published by Thomas Nelson in 1998.
