Physical and mental health wholeness When was the last time you went looking for a miracle cure or the Fountain of Youth hoping for something to diminish the signs of living on this sinful earth a little too long? Over the past two decades much research has been done on the effects of the religious life on our emotional, mental, and physical health. The documented results are astounding. Did you know that a regular prayer life, an attitude of gratitude and joy, or a spirit of forgiveness can dramatically impact your overall health? Even church attendance and Scripture reading are intimately connected to health, happiness, and longevity. In Benefits of Belief, Dr. Julian Melgosa uses research and personal stories to reveal the amazing benefits everyone can obtain from following the Lord s ways and living the Christian life. Jesus promises that anyone who follows Him will receive a hundredfold now (Mark 10:30). Dr. Melgosa believes it is reasonable to think that these blessings are not exclusively material, but are also related to the exercise of wisdom, resilience, and endurance that ultimately translate into good health, happiness, and well-being Christian life Spirituality Christianity lcc DWBSLC BV 4501.3 .M454 2013 0 0 lcc 0 0 DWBSLC AUA.1 AUA.1 SPEC 2016-12-13 Donation, Dr. Delbert Baker 10.00 AUA21014 BV 4501.3 .M454 2013 AUA21014 2016-12-13 00:00:00 10.00 2016-12-13 DWBSLC
