Dr. Russell presents three main principles for healthy living.
- Eat only substances created for food.
- Eat foods as they were created.
- Don't let any food or drink become your god.
In the rest of the book he then elaborates on these three principles. What makes this book superior is its simplicity and wisdom with good sense.
In regards to the first, he quotes verses where God specifically gives certain foods to human beings for food. He then presents a list of foods mentioned in the Bible. And later in the book he goes into further details on each of these foods and the health benefits science is now showing are associated with eating them. One point he dwells on is the distinction between clean and unclean meats. He notes some of the health problems that have been caused by people eating unclean meats. He also includes an interesting chart of clean and unclean meats. Besides each kind of meat is an indication of its toxicity level. All clean meats have much lower levels of toxins than unclean meats. However, these toxicity levels are taken from a study done in 1953. It would be helpful if a more recent study were cited.
In regards to the second principle, he first enlarges it beyond food to look at what God said about aspects of healthy living besides food. He notes that God's directives in regards to personal hygiene and sex give health benefits to the person following them. Then later he looks at foods. He notes that the processing of foods, such as turning whole grains into refined grains, "strips away" many of the nutrients God placed in the original whole foods.
In regards to the last principle, he notes the many problems that addictions to food and other substances can cause a person.
Overall, this book is excellent. Russell presents a lot of Scripture verses and supporting scientific research for what the Bible teaches. Reading this book together would give the reader a good grasp of what the Bible teaches about nutrition and how science is finally catching up to the Bible's teachings. An outstanding reminder of Gods prescription for our health as contained in His holy Word!

From the publisher
Why do we get sick? If God says we are "fearfully and wonderfully made" (Psalm 139:14), why do we always seem to be hampered with health problems? While a perfect, pain-free existence won't happen on this side of heaven, there are tangible, successful ways you can improve your health and overall quality of life. The answers, says Dr. Rex Russell, an invasive radiologist, lie in God's Word. Through year's of searching for answers to his own struggle with diabetes, Dr. Rex Russell finally discovered a successful plan for healthy living: don't eat anything God didn't intend for food (e.g. avoid scavenger meats such as pork shellfish and catfish); don't become addicted to anything (i.e. do not make food your god); and ingest food before it is changed into nutrient deficient or harmful products.

Are you eating and living the way you should? The Bible gives us instructions on how we are to live and be well. What the Bible Says About Healthy Living is a great book that shows us how we are to live and what foods are better for us. It describes how the Creator or Great Designer gave us certain foods to keep us healthy and live for many years to come.
By giving you the foods that you should and should not eat, as well as the reasons why, the text incites a positive reaction by all who read it. By presenting the information to you, a guideline is formed so that you can see what is good for you and what is not. Also, by following the principles within the book, you will start feeling better about yourself both physically and spiritually.
This book is for those that are looking for a great eating plan to maybe lose weight or to overcome a sickness. Because a physician wrote it, there are a lot of medical facts included as well as scriptures to back up what he is saying. This book provides answers to many questions. |

After reading his book, I have gained a new insight into the types of foods that I eat. He constantly references the scripture in his endeavor to explain God's plan for food in our lives. Dr. Russell also uses medical research studies to outline the points of his book. I feel this is a great combination for those folks that aren't "super-spiritual" but want to improve their lives.
Personally, I am very excited about putting God's plan for food into action. Please note, salvation and holiness are not determined by the foods you eat. The old laws are removed, and we are saved by grace. Dr. Russell expressly makes this point throughout his book. You will have to make your own choices, but Dr. Russell definitely gets you thinking about the poisons we consume on a daily basis. |

The word diet derives from the Greek diaita, which means "a manner of living," or lifestyle. Dr. Russell's book is the first of its kind to step back from the subject of food and see it for what it is - a blessing designed by the Almighty to aid in our service of him.
In a day and age when our culture looks at food as trendy, or as something to be addicted to or to be avoided, Dr. Russell uncovers what the Bible says about food. He does it in a way that can be easily understood and applied.
As a former chef from a 4 star restaurant and as the head of sales at a food equipment company I wish everyone, from food consumers to food producers, would read this book and apply its principles. It might cause me to have to look for a different job (one of the biblical principles that Dr. Russell rediscovers is that of eating food in as close to the form that God gives it to us in - not processed with equipment!) but it would improve peoples "manner of living" enormously!
If anyone reads the book and agrees, I would welcome their contacting me. I would like to start an association of those who support the principles that Dr. Russell has rediscovered. |

What the Bible Says about Healthy Living is one of the best nutrition books I've ever read. It makes complete and total sense and is fun and easy to read. I appreciate all the research and study done by Dr. Rex and it was so cool to see all that God has designed and intended for our bodies is proven medically by a Medical Doctor. It was also great to learn how much God loves us by all that he commanded. He commands weren't just a random list of rules but they were rules that He knew would benefit us because he created us! This book revolutionized my thinking about health and nutrition in general. Thank you Dr. Russell for all your hard work to get this book out!
