Effective ways to appreciate & take care of the body

In God Knows You'd Like A New Body, Carl Koch and Joyce Heil effectively collaborate to offer the reader twelve effective ways to appreciate and take care of the bodies we are born with. To "make friends" with our bodies whether we are flat-footed, balding, skinny, hefty, short, tall, big or small. The authors offer sage advice on avoiding "the perfection trap" that our secular culture tends to lure the unwary with through the media of movies and television, commercials and trendy hypes. God Knows You'd Like A New Body is strongly recommended reading for anyone who suffers from a "poor self image" -- especially those whose troubled concerns about their looks or physical attributes seduce them into dangerous diets, destructive exercises, or life-threatening illnesses such as bulimia and anorexia.
