Synopsis

Women over 50 often compare the bodies we once had to our circumstances today. We feel overwhelmed at the enormity of the work that needs to be done to get back in shape or recover from a health crisis. When we remember that these bodies are the temple of the Lord, indwelt by the Holy Spirit, we add guilt over how we have allowed them to become tattered and tired.When a remnant of the Jews returned from exile in Babylon to rebuild the Temple of the Lord in Jerusalem, it lay in ruins. The people were few. They were short on building materials. They faced opposition by officials and people living in the land.But the prophet Zechariah reminded them: Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin (Zechariah 4:9).When we recognize the work that needs to be done to regain or make the most of our present health, we can do so--not overwhelmed by the enormity of what needs to be done--but taking small steps toward better health, knowing that the Lord is rejoicing to see us begin.This book is not a how-to book nor does it provide advice about health. Rather, it guides the reader through various aspects of health and helps her consider what small beginnings she might make to improve both her physical and spiritual health, by looking at what Scripture has to say.
