What to expect
A Pastor Looks at Physical Exercise and Its Potential to Serve Spiritual Life and Joy
We live in an age dominated by screens. For many, life is sedentary, and it's become increasingly difficult to prioritize physical activity. Quietly conformed to this new normal, they feel sluggish and unmotivated. Others, however, have become entangled in a fitness culture that prioritizes the self, fuels pride, and coddles idolatry. Is it possible to make exercise holy?
A Little Theology of Exercise explores how stewarding our bodies can serve the soul, honor God, and bless others. Combining biblical texts with practical guidance, pastor and author David Mathis encourages readers to embrace modest exercise as a way to deepen their knowledge and enjoyment of Christ and then reflect his love in the world. By placing Christ at the center of physical training, readers will discover a greater joy in exercise and an even deeper joy in their relationship with God.
- Christ Centered: Demonstrates how effective body stewardship serves the soul, fostering the ability to know and enjoy Christ better
- Balanced: Helps readers embrace new healthy habits while navigating the challenges of sub-Christian motivations
- Timely: In our sedentary age, this resource spurs physical movement and aims to enrich spiritual joy
- Written by David Mathis: Bestselling author of Habits of Grace: Enjoying Jesus through the Spiritual Disciplines
