Healthy Vessels 
A Christian Guide for a Healthy Lifestyle

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 crisisthe 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.
