Treasures of Healthy Living {Book Review}

Do you get overwhelmed when you think about all the changes you can, or should, make in your family's diet and or life style?  I don't know about you, but the more I learn about living healthy, the more I realize I don't know.   If you can relate, then Treasures of Healthy Living  by Annette Reeder is definitely a book you'll want to read!  


I was so excited when Mollie asked me to do the review!  I firmly believe that the Christian life demands a healthy diet and life style.  After all, we are bought with a price - our bodies belong to HIM!!

1.  My favorite thing about Treasures of Healthy Living {beside it's name - anything with the word "treasures" in it has to be good, right? ;)}  is that it's based on the Bible and used Scripture to tell us what God thinks about food.  Most of us don't realize just how much God wants us to enjoy food.

Treasures of Healthy Living will walk you through your Bible and help you understand food and how God made it for our physical benefit as well as spiritual comparisons and applications.

Did you know God refers to Himself as the "Bread of Life"?  God knew how much we would depend on food, and yes, even love it, and that's why He lovingly explains life to us through examples and pictures He knew we'd understand. And who doesn't understand food??  {The Bible mentions all kinds of foods including apples, grapes, figs, honey, barley, fish, cheese, and pistachios to name just a few.} 

2.  I also love how this book was divided into sections.  Each section, or chapter, is devoted to a different topic.  These topics range from beverages, to bread and whole grains, to fruits and vegetables, and yes, even toiletries, cosmetics and cleaning supplies!  This book covers it all!

I love how Treasures of Healthy Living is divided into 12 parts.  It made it easy for me to read and not so overwhelming.  You study one thing at a time.  You will be invited to make small decisions and life applications on a daily and weekly basis over a 12 week span.

Treasures of Healthy Living is a great Bible study tool for you and your girl friends, or maybe you could even use it as Sunday School materiel?  There's also a cook book that goes along with this study guide!  I can't wait to order it for myself!  What would be better than a weekly Bible study that includes a new recipe to try?  And - it would all be healthy!! 

Anytime is a great time to make healthy changes.  Why not start this year out on the right foot?  Order "Treasures of Healthy Living" now.  Use it to help you understand food, what the Bible says about it, and how much God wants you to enjoy it {and your health!}.  Go to the Designed Healthy Living site and enter the code:   hiddentreasures   to get 10% off any books and treasures note cards.  {Coupon will expire after February 28.}
