NOTES

Eating only when truly hungry, rather than when the clock dictates, frees us to pursue authentic living. We can push back true hunger for hours by exercise that strengthens muscles and improves cardiovascular fitness. This book, without being autobiographical, describes the author's ongoing physical and spiritual transformation, which began at age sixty-three. The sincere pursuit of Christ must include physical and spiritual self-discipline and the willingness to embrace suffering, including fasting. Sweaty, Sore, Sometimes Hungry challenges readers to get off of the couch, purchase the gym membership and training shoes, and love God authentically--as whole, faithful stewards of the bodies he entrusted to their care. Obesity and other lifestyle diseases are not acceptable options for the children of God, for those sincerely desiring to live to "the praise of his glory" (Eph 1:12)
