"We are a nation of unhealthy people," writes author Valerie Whatley, PhD. From eating junk food to getting too little exercise, from toxic waste in our soil to a disconnect from the heavenly Father, we have a problem. What we need, Dr. Whatley suggests, is to accept responsibility for ourselves by walking the path toward healthy living, each and every day. Let's Eat in Green Pastures is a practical guide that points us in just that direction. Because physical health is largely dependent on spiritual health, the journey away from an unhealthy existence begins by building a solid relationship with Jesus Christ. In this way, Dr. Whatley tells us, we will "acquire the faith needed to accept [our] God-given gift of good health." As human beings, we are much like sheep in need of a shepherd. By evaluating our belief system and forming an intimate relationship with God, we take the first step toward achieving wellness. But what about maintaining robust physical health? This we can do by designing a healthful diet and exercise regimen that suits our own needs, thus avoiding health problems that are commonly triggered or controlled by diet and exercise. The book is divided into five eminently readable parts, each addressing a specific issue related to our well-being. While each part is valuable in its own right, perhaps the jewel in the crown is Part V: "My Favorite Family Recipes," a marvelous compendium of delicious, healthful recipes, created by Dr. Whatley's own family members. Filled with insightful information and engaging personal anecdotes, Let's Eat in Green Pastures leads the way toward good health with its unique brand of advice.
