I have personally read over a hundred books on fitness and nutrition, and can honestly say that Clark Bartram's book, Spiritually Fit, is my favorite! What differentiates Mr. Bartram's book from others is that not only does he give practical advice to enrich your life with good nutrition and fitness routines, he includes solid spiritual principles as well. It is about time someone wrote a book such as this!In his foreword, Mr. Bartram writes, "Fitness and faith-----where is the balance? How do we as Christians justify spending time trying to develop our bodies when we know that the body is temporary and superficial? How do we achieve the proper equilibrium between our physical and spiritual selves?" After reading this book I believe more than ever that it is God's will that we are to take care of our physical bodies, temporal though they may be, in order to live vital, abundant lives which glorify our creator. Mr. Bartram is very convincing and insightful in the manner in which he communicates this.The price of this book is a bargain, considering the nutritional and training advice the author gives would likely cost hundreds of dollars to obtain from a personal trainer and nutritionist. He writes in an entertaining fashion as well. You are sure to love his "Ten Commandments of Fitness" in chapter eight.I would highly recommend Spiritually Fit to anyone who wants to build their self-esteem, to love and respect others more, and who eagerly desires to have the balanced, quality life that God intended for them. Get physically and spiritually fit, and start by buying this book!
A must have!

I am a Christian woman who enjoys working out but sometimes feel I get a bit out of balance. Spiritually Fit helped me gain a better understanding of how to maintain a positive balance between my physical and spiritual sides. In addition to providing excellent information on how to get in great shape the author sheds light on how it relates to our spiritual lives as well. If you have ever struggled with how not to obsess over how to get a great body and not losing control everywhere else I highly suggest you pick this great book up. I have looked for years and there is NO OTHER book like this out there anywhere, especially from such a reputable source.
