Health and Wellness: Honoring God in Body, Mind, and Spirit

Five Christian professionals target lifestyle choice as the key for understanding how core values relate to overall well-being. Learning resources in this text include numerous charts and graphs, expanded self-evaluation questions, activity labs, and assessment tools. All are designed to help students examine their own status, initiate change in their lives, and adopt a health and wellness lifestyle that will benefit others.

Wellness is a combination of physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. A primary goal of the wellness lifestyle is to help people make choices that will help them live longer, and more importantly--enjoy living longer. The quality of a person's life and the fulfillment it provides are just as important as the quantity of the years one lives. In addition to enhancing one's own well-being, positive wellness decisions allow a person to participate more fully in the lives of others.
