Beni Johnson

In his final chapter Bill seems confused as to why other Christian leaders would oppose his ministry (p163-4) but having read this book I'm not surprised given the Johnsons' theology of Communion. This is a well written book with great stories of God's working. However, their attention to biblical detail is lacking at best. They refer to a few verses of 1 Corinthians 11 but never examine the entire passage or give us the context. Their focus is on taking the communion elements as a source of show more spiritual power. Beni speaks of taking them up to there times a day. However, Paul's message to the Corinthians is entirely about Communion as a corporate event and he seeks to correct abuses of the common meal. See especially 1 Corinthians 11:33 where he talks about coming together to eat. The Johnsons have turned the elements into a magic rite that will lead to blessings in the spiritual, physical and financial realm. Indeed there are verses that speak of God's blessings but let's not abuse Communion in this way. By all means meditate on Scripture and God's blessings but don't turn a corporate event of love and unity into a personal repetitive seeking after God's blessings on earth. show less

It's that time of year when we start thinking about our health and make promises to eat healthier and exercise more. But the reality is most of us don't follow throug even though we promise ourselves we will. We get so busy with our lives, we forget to stop and smell the roses. I was one of those high energy people who was always on the go. I might have looked healthy, but I was far from being in good shape and really eating good healthy meals. I have decided that now is the time to take my show more health serious and have a healthy mind , body and spirit.

I loved the author's transparency as she takes us on her journey to a healthier life. It is not always easy but she shows us ways to achieve our goal with grace and wisdom. I appreciate her openness and insight into this subject. She is very encouraging and is very open to sharing her struggles along the way. The book is filled with helpful tools and information that will guide you on your journey to achieve your goal. I loved how she suggested speaking scriptures over ourselves to begin to be physically, emotionally and spiritually healthy. "He made your body , soul, and spirit- those three parts of your bring that are all connected - and when they are healthy and in harmony with each other , you will experience wellness." At the end of the book, the author has graciously included some healthy recipes to try and has a question and answer section at the end. Be encouraged as you take this journey , and know that Gid is right there with you cheering you on.

I received this book from The BookClub Network for an honest review. show less

Loved this book. Especially how honest the author was about her own health and journey. We all need to take care of ourselves more because God gave us one life and we shouldn't waste it.
She shows you a step by step plan on how to not only get your soul in check but your health. I could totally relate to this book because of my own health and family history. God is good and we need to listen to what he is telling us.
The mini chapters were also very easy to use, they are called Tools for show more Health:
Hydration
Sleep
Exercise
Eating Clean
Detoxing

I would recommend this book to those who are ready to make a difference in their lives. We all want to be around for our loved ones. This book is a great start to help you on your new journey.
