Riassunto

Contemporary efforts toward fitness are, by and large, rooted in vanity and self-interest. Here, however, authors Dan Burke and Chase Crouse reveal how your physical well-being can help energize your spiritual life and empower you to offer a more complete self-gift to God and others.

In this practical guide inspired by St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body and the evidence-based benefits of good health, you will discover how fitness and wholesome nutrition assist you in elevating and intensifying your journey to Christ. You will discover how to:

• Reject the enemy's lies that harm your life and forge a plan to move toward wellness
• Implement a health and fitness plan with measurable goals, regardless of your age, state in life, or current health
• Lose fat and build muscle through achievable exercises and simple, sustainable workouts
• Create a healthy diet that you can realistically maintain (by adding, not subtracting!)
• Grow in asceticism (self-denial) to strengthen yourself in the pursuit of holiness in your vocation
• Optimize your sleep by creating a schedule that helps you wind down so you awaken refreshed and renewed

The authors' goal is to help you develop a personalized plan that you will enjoy following regularly, as opposed to fad workouts that you will abandon. They also include a list of additional high-value resources for enhancing the spiritual, nutritional, and fitness strategies you devise.

In the words of St. John Paul II, "The future starts today, not tomorrow." With this invaluable book, the road to a healthier, happier, and more fulfilled you begins now.

Satan is always at work breeding sadness and anxiety while providing obstacles that prevent souls from making spiritual progress. In this concise yet powerful book, author Dan Burke presents the venerable, time-tested wisdom of Catholic mystics to help you understand the influence of the Enemy on your mind and heart, and the tactics you need to combat him.With St. Ignatius as his guide, Burke presents here an indispensable, authoritative manual for engaging in daily battle with the Adversary--combat that is both inevitable and winnable. Burke will help you recognize the ebbs and flows of consolation and desolation, and distinguish between the voices of God and of Satan. Best of all, you'll come to see the spiritual life not as a science to be learned, but as an intuitive art to be practiced as you move with increasing success from habitual sin to sanctity.The battle for our souls is unavoidable. The saints won theirs by learning how to be spiritual warriors and by recognizing that we become stronger through battle and grow weaker from avoidance.
