Hey there! Thanks so much for checking out my website! If I can be totally honest, I don’t believe for a second that it’s an accident you’re here. I believe that you, like me and countless other young women, are pursuing a level and quality of fitness that far transcends the superficial, secular ideals of beauty, happiness, and well-being as defined by the culture around us. I believe with all my heart that the Christian life is intended to be lived vibrantly, victoriously, and abundantly, as Jesus Christ says in the Gospel of John, with eternity continually in view. And yes, as you can probably deduce from the name of this site, I strongly believe our physical fitness has a significant role to play on eternity’s stage! Grab a cup of green tea, stay a while, and explore and reflect upon God’s will for your body – it is a temple, after all!
Go Diana! This book is an excellent, holistic fitness guide for women of all ages. I found myself encouraged and challenged as I enjoyed this entertaining and informative read. From need-to-know info on artificial sweeteners, to workout and meal plans, to “spiritual fitness” help, this book will be a true asset to anyone’s life.
