Reviews for 30 Quick Tips for Better Health
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/530 Quick Tips for Better Health is a small book packed with tips to help improve and maintain your spiritual, emotional and physical health. Each chapter focuses on one aspect of healthy living, such as diet, exercise, rest, etc., and provides information, scripture references and suggestions for changes that will enhance your life. Verhulst asserts in the first chapter that God’s Word is our Owner’s Manual and is the foundation for anyone looking for improvement and change. And while I believe this to be true, I do not agree with all of the connections Verhulst makes between scripture and physical health. Containing interesting food for thought, it is a bit heavy on prosperity gospel. I know many people who live healthy lifestyles, along with a vibrant faith life, and still suffer from illness. Unfortunately, we live in a fallen world with all the attendant evils, including sickness. The tips he shares are good, but do not ensure a disease-free life. Read this book with a dose of skepticism and the Bible at your side.(Thanks to Booketeria for a review copy of this book. All opinions expressed are mine alone.)

Acknowledgments
IT IS WITH humble gratitude that I would like to acknowledge our pastor, Duane Vander Klok, for believing in my teaching gifts, and my colleague, Jim Bakker, for his support in embracing the Bible’s message of health. I would also like to thank my friend and copy editor, E. M. Slootmaker, for her diligent, creative work as a wordsmith since this project first began.
Last but certainly not least, I praise the Lord for my loving family who continuously upholds me in my work—my dear mother, Jackquelyne VerHulst, for her support and cheerful willingness to care for our children when we are on the road with our ministry, and, most of all, my lovely wife, Susan Krews VerHulst. Without her hard work and attention to detail, this book would not have been possible.

About the Author
Introduction
TODAY IS A new day. What will you do with it? How about taking one step toward better health? In the following pages I will share some simple yet profound tips to help you live a healthier life—starting right now.
The Bible tells us in 3 John 2 that one of the things God most wants us to experience during our time here on earth is good health
(NAS). Plenty of Scripture verses give us wisdom on good health. I will share that wisdom with you in this little book.
I also will provide you with practical action steps that will move you closer to optimum wellness. My prayer is that as you apply what you learn in this book, you will find yourself on the road to a healthier future.
You may already know some of the information you will read here. Perhaps you already include it as part of your lifestyle. I pray my words will then encourage you to stay the course. If this is all brand-new to you, I will show you some physical and spiritual changes you can make to look better, feel better, and have more energy.
Each of the thirty tips includes a specific Bible verse that gives health advice. After you read the verse and the health tip drawn from that passage of Scripture, pray for God to show you how to implement it in your life. Then record your thoughts and reactions in the space given for journaling and make a plan for how you can begin to make changes in your life—today.
As you read through this book, you’ll quickly discover that the Bible is loaded with God’s wisdom for improving your well-being. So I urge you to read these pages prayerfully, asking the
