A Little Theology of Exercise

ET Exclusive:
pre-publication review

This brief and helpful book encourages Christians to exercise for the glory of God. Recognising that modern technology and lifestyles are making us increasingly sedentary, David Mathis urges us to be physically active with the bodies God has given us. He explores how we can consecrate physical activity through a biblical understanding of the body and a prayerful approach to training.     

Mathis shows that the Bible has more to say about exercise than just Paul’s words that ‘bodily training is of some value’ (1 Tim 4:8). He remains faithful to Paul’s emphasis that our spiritual lives matter far more, yet demonstrates how our walk with God can be helped and energised through physical activity.
