Suggested Reading:

The Bible (it doesn't have to be a King James version, but make sure you have an accurate translation. My personal recommendation is the New King James, which uses more modern English without compromising the accuracy of the original version.).

Dressed To Kill, by Rick Renner (a MUST read). A Biblical approach to spiritual warfare--best info on the subject I've ever read; Renner is an incredible teacher, easy to follow.

How to Discipline Your Flesh, by Kenneth Copeland (also a MUST read). Subject matter self-explanatory.

The China Study: Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long Term  Health, by T. Colin Campbell, PhD & Thomas M. Campbell II. This is by far the most important book I have ever read on nutrition.  The connection between "diseases of affluence" and their dietary cause is spelled out in clear everyday language.  This is an important book to read, even if you ultimately do not choose a vegan eating style.

Diet for a New America, by John Robbins. Another exceedingly important book on nutrition and the importance of a plant-based diet.

Creationist Diet, by Gary Zeolla. This is a great overview of Biblical insight related to diet.  Zeolla shares Biblical and scientific information for everyone, from meat-eaters to strict vegans, and all those who are still searching for an eating style that fits.  I recommend this book especially for those who want to eat healthier, but still want options.  This book will not make you feel like any one eating style  is being crammed down your throat.

Health Food Junkies: Orthorexia Nervosa: Overcoming the Obsession with Healthful Eating, by Steven Bratman, M.D. Eating Disorders are not limited to junk food or starvation.  I am convinced that people can become addicted to anything, including healthy eating.

Combat Faith, by Hal Lindsey. Learn how to crack the "faith barrier."  This message is timeless.

When We Just Can't Stop/Overcoming Addiction, by RBC Ministries; send your request, mailing address, & $1 for postage to Renovation, 811 186th Ave. Ct. E., Sumner, WA 98390.

Suggested Audio:

Fasting in the Fasted Life, Dave Roberson Ministries, P.O. Box 725, Tulsa, Ok 74101, (918)298-7729. The most incredible presentation of the role of fasting and prayer in the life of a believer; includes info pertinent to those wanting to "honor God" with their bodies by taking care of themselves and why they should/need to do it.
