Dear , 
 
I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship. Romans 12:1 (NIV)
 
If you are like me then you know what a challenge it is, especially over the holidays, to eat healthy and refrain from all the goodies and great food.  I usually give up and give in about the second week in December and don't give it a thought until sometime in early January. The realization that I went a bit overboard hits when I notice the scale is showing more than I anticipated or the slacks are a bit tighter around the waistline.
 
While I don't really feel guilty about enjoying the great treats found around the holiday, I am concerned that it is important to be as fit as possible. Did you know that twenty percent of the population in every state in America is obese? And 50 million people worldwide will die this year from chronic diseases due to being overweight.
 
Keeping our weight in check is a battle that a lot of us face, but the great news is we don't have to face the battle alone.  As Christians, there are many things that we are incapable of overcoming in our own strength but we have the promise that "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me - Phillipians 4:13 (NIV)." With prayer and guidance from His word we can overcome our own weakness and have much better health; both physically and spiritually.
 
If you've become a bit discouraged over the weight thing don't give up because there are plenty of resources available to help you get back on track. Ask God for insight, strength, and courage to help you make the changes necessary that will lead to a healthier lifestyle. Many times just a few small changes to our habits can lead to significant results that will be enjoyed for a lifetime.
 
Blessings,
Steve <><

During his more than thirty years as a vascular surgeon, Richard Furman literally held clogged arteries and diseased hearts in his hands and wondered why the person lying on the table hadn't been more careful. Heart disease is the number one killer of men and women in America, and in most cases it is completely preventable.

So why are we slowly destroying our bodies and killing ourselves? And what can we do to turn it around?

The good news is, simple, sustainable lifestyle changes can mean the difference between health and infirmity, between life and death. Putting his three decades of experience and education to work, Dr. Furman gives readers the strategies they need to live not just longer, but "younger." This essential resource to health helps readers

-achieve and maintain their ideal weight
-reduce their risk for life-threatening diseases
-make exercise a natural part of their lives
-learn what foods to eat and what foods to avoid

It even shows how following the plan can not only eliminate heart disease, but also keep people safe from various cancers, dementia, diabetes, stroke, erectile dysfunction, and other age- and obesity-related problems.

Dr. Furman wants readers to realize that poor health during one's "golden years" is not inevitable.

It can and should be avoided at all cost. And with his expert advice, readers can live long, healthy, vibrant lives, enjoying time with friends and family instead of wasting it in doctors' offices and hospitals.

Get Out of that Pit
** 5.00 In-Store Only
Our Price $5.00
From her first breath of fresh air beyond the pit, it has never been enough for Beth Moore to be free. This best-selling author and Bible teacher who has opened the riches of Scripture to millions longs for you to be free as well-to know the Love and Presence that are better than life and the power of God's Word that defies all darkness.
 
Beth's journey out of the pit has been heart-rending. But from this and the poetic expressions of Psalm 40 has come the reward: a new song for her soul, given by her Saviour and offered to you in "Get Out of That Pit" - friend to friend.

This is Beth's most stirring message yet of the sheer hope, utter deliverance, and complete and glorious freedom of God:
"I waited patiently for the Lord"
"He turned to me and heard my cry"
"He lifted me out of the slimy pit"
"He set my feet on a rock"
"He put a new song in my mouth"
It is a story, a song - a salvation - that you can know, too.

Love Arrives in Pieces
** 5.00 In-Store Only
For so long, Stella was known for her beauty. Now, with her heart stripped bare, she must discover who she really is.

Former pageant queen Stella Varland doesn t trust beauty anymore after her divorce. Her appearance betrayed her and led to her brokenness so instead of being beautiful, now she tries to make beautiful things, but always falls short. So she keeps her passion for her secret art to herself and focuses on her interior design work. But if she doesn t get another job soon, she ll be stuck living with her parents.

Contractor Chase Taylor is determined to live a life of no regrets after losing his fiancee in a car crash. Now he lives life at full speed, striving to see how much he can accomplish. He knows if he slows down, he ll fall apart. So he returns home to Bayou Bend to renovate the town s old theater, and is shocked to learn former flame Stella is the designer for the project.

Forced to work together, Chase and Stella battle their chemistry and their pasts as they struggle to compromise and come together on a vision for the theater. Chase doesn t understand why Stella is such a subdued version of herself, while Stella doesn t get Chase s constant need for productivity and speed. Their wills clash as they attempt to hide their brokenness and their unresolved feelings for each other until Chase breaks through Stella s walls and convinces her to enter her mosaic tile art in a contest.

A near catastrophe, a fire, and a small-town gossip mill finally force both Stella and Chase to realize that they have a choice to hold on to the shards of their pasts, or surrender their fragmented pieces to the One who makes a beautiful masterpiece from the broken. "

Murder Freshly Baked
** $5.00 In-Store Only
When delicious baked goods become lethal, it s time to find a killer. Kindness is a virtue Meanness is a sin Better watch your bakery pies For poison I've slipped in. The Amish Artisan Village in Middlebury, Indiana, has been decorated with every color of balloon and flower for the Race for a Cure. As manager of the Village, Amber Bowman is thrilled to see the turnout and relieved to have something to distract her from the Poison Poet, an individual who has been sending notes containing bad poetry to warn of poisoned baked goods.

Then Ryan Duvall crosses the finish line of the race and falls down dead, murdered in broad daylight. But who did it? And why? The police suspect Preston Johnston, but Amber refuses to believe her employee could do such a thing. Amber once again looks to her young Amish friend Hannah Troyer to help her find the killer and to determine if it s the same person leaving the cryptic poems and pies. Can they help the police before the Poison Poet strikes again? Both Amber and Hannah will need to draw on their faith as they fight to preserve the peaceful community they ve built at the Amish Artisan Village."

Some Parting Fun...                            
Brother John took his new diet seriously, even changing his driving route to avoid his favorite bakery. One morning, however, he arrived at work carrying a gigantic coffeecake. Everyone scolded him, but his smile remained cherubic.
 
"This is a very special coffeecake," he explained. "I accidentally drove by the bakery this morning and there in the window were a host of goodies. I felt this was no accident, so I prayed, 'Lord, if you want me to have one of those delicious coffeecakes, let me have a parking place directly in front of the bakery.' And sure enough," he continued, "the eighth time around the block, there it was!"
