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 for review consideration. 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 bordered 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: The Call of Living Water - Refuge #1

Be still, my missions-loving heart! This is hands-down, one of the best fictional books I've read on this theme, and I cannot gush enough about it. The Call of Living Water by Alexis M. Melvin is a new book that will be released on August 23, 2025 and  if I had to suggest a Christian fiction title that could make a difference in your walk with God this summer, it would be this one. Many thanks to the author for providing me with a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own. Content to be aware of : tribal sacrifices, martyrdom Book Synopsis When the God of Living Water calls, will SuĆ”i be willing to risk her life and the lives of everyone she loves to answer? Deep in the jungle of Paraguay, SuĆ”i’s tribe worships indifferent gods who withhold the life-giving rain unless their worshippers make costly sacrifices. However, when a missionary arrives speaking of the loving God of Living Water, SuĆ”i’s curiosity leads her down a dangerous path. Thrust into a new life with p...

All the Cheese

I've been coming across content within the past several weeks that has stereotyped Christian books (and other mediums) as being cheesy on Christian accounts. While this isn't a new label or even a new topic, what has surprised me somewhat has been seeing more Christian authors jump into this conversation who wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment. Although some authors will name others whom they believe are writing non-cheesy fiction, I feel as though the damage has been done by repeating this blanket statement. While readers have freely been engaging in this type of commentary for some time, it's been interesting to see authors chime in, where in some cases, there seems to be an emphasis on self-promotion over reflection. I'm not stereotyping and saying that all authors or even the authors I'm connected to respond with this tactic (because I really don't think they do!), but there are a few out there from my limited experience who seem to respond to this disc...
