Rezensionen

"This book, while about fitness, also explores the religious side of physical fitness and the role that religion plays in people exercising in their daily lives. ... This book presents some interesting thoughts. I feel that the church should do different physical things to help reach out to their community and to improve the health and wellbeing of the church itself. This book will present me with some things to think about as I venture into full-time ministry." (Justin Dilliplane, Resolved for Christ, resolvedfc.blogspot.de, February, 2018)
