My Review:

I bought Fit God's Way: Your Bible-Based Guide to Food, Fitness, & Wholeness on a whim this past summer. I was in Baker Bookhouse browsing, saw the book, and grabbed it and I am so glad I did!

One area that I feel is a constant struggle is my health and fitness. Can you relate? If so, I highly recommend this book. While it is saturated with Scripture, it is also a wealth of knowledge and tips to motivated you to stop dieting and start living your best, healthy life, while obtaining last results. The book is well-researched with the notes properly referenced in the back.

The premise of Fit God's Way is built around 7 habits. The first three are centered around God, which may not appeal to everyone but can easily be skimmed if this is not your cup of tea. They still have valuable information that is not about God but about dieting and fitness. Then there are the habits that will appeal to everyone, choose fit thoughts, eat to fuel your temple, make fitness holy, and press on-don't quit.

To be clear, this is not a dieting book. This is a book that encourages you to stop dieting and start maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Leto acknowledges that trying all the habits at once might be overwhelming, so start with a few, and as you build your confidence, add in more.

Leto is also not coming from a place of having it all together. She struggled with dieting and eating healthy, and the book is what she has learned over the years. She is a certified fitness instructor and nutrition specialist, sharing what she has learned. 

I cannot recommend this book enough. I have tons of quotes highlighted, and parts of the book tabbed (I recommend having a physical copy), and already wish I had an accountability partner to walk through this process with.

★★★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads): 

An ESPN Fitness America Champion provides a step-by-step, God’s Word-based guide to equip Christian women with solutions to gain control of over food, find lasting motivation to workout, confidently see themselves through God’s eyes, and live their best life.

If you’re tired of starting your diet over every Monday, if getting dressed stresses you out, if scrolling through your social media feed makes you feel insecure, this is not of God!

The way the world portrays health, fitness, and body confidence causes us to live in a thought cycle of “not good enough” and defeat, but in Christ we are free to live boldly as the best version of ourselves.

An empowering Christ-centered system that exchanges the lies of the world for the truth of God is the answer you will find in this book.

It’s time to trade relying on weak willpower for the Holy Spirit gift of self-control, lasting motivation found in your purpose, and confidence found seeing yourself through His eyes!

Yes, you can cross the finish line of your goals. You just need your secret recipe!

Fit God’s Way provides the necessary tools you need to create your personalized daily system of success through the 7 Habits of Christ-Centered Fitness.

If you know in your heart that you were made for more than failed diets and feeling less than… and you are ready to dare to believe with boldness you can become God’s best version of yourself, it’s time to live Strong. Confident. His.
