Review: The Biblio Diet

The Biblio Diet book cover on blue background

Over the years, I've had the joy of reading many books on health and nutrition, partly a product of some studies I've done on it and also due to personal interest. As a result, I'm always intrigued when there is a Christian perspective on this subject. I'm grateful that I learnt about The Biblio Diet by Jordan Rubin and Dr. Josh Axe after having previously read Eat Dirt by Dr. Josh Axe.

Many thanks to Worthy Books for providing a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

Book Thoughts

I appreciated the opportunity to read this book as it confirmed most of the same information I've read on this topic elsewhere regarding food, fat, and conventional eating. What made this book stand out was that it provided helpful summaries in breaking down the different types of food by clearly explaining what to avoid and what to seek out. By avoiding common medical jargon, it made the subject of nutrition approachable and attainable. The biblical references throughout the book served as an ongoing reminder that our bodies are created by God and that our Creator knows best what will allow us to flourish and what could be inhibiting our health. It was nice to see Christian health professionals profess their faith openly and acknowledge that God is the source of wisdom and truth.

While the diet and exercise portions of this book contained useful knowledge, I struggled with some of the content on mindsets and declarative prayer as those seemed to border on New Apostolic Reformation thinking the way they were presented. I was also uneasy regarding the treatments for cancer, so I really found the value of this book to be in the first half of it. I would be curious to learn more from reviewers who may be health professionals as I would not be coming from a place of expertise. Even if I don't end up adopting all of the changes advocated for in The Biblio Diet, I'm thankful I can have a better understanding of what our bodies need. Christians who are interested in nutrition will find the explanations on what to eat and why to be informative as presented from a biblical perspective.

Review: A Heart to Treasure - Searching Hearts #1

There can be a genteelness to Regency books that allows for reflection while reading about the hardships that people faced during this time in history. A Heart to Treasure by Dienece Darling probes both the heart and the mind, allowing readers to be immersed in an era where trust in God is required when circumstances appear bleak. Many thanks to the author for providing me with a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own. Book Synopsis The vicar’s son and the draper’s daughter have fought against all odds to be together, but a storm is coming. One that will shatter everything.
