GROWING A GREAT BODY AND GROWING IN CHRIST ARE TWO THINGS MANY PEOPLE STRIVE FOR. THIS INSPIRATIONAL GUIDE DETAILS WHICH MEASURES THE LORD USES TO HELP US DEVELOP IN EACH AREA.

Have you ever had a passion that took you to places you never thought you could go? In the journey of life, we face adversities and challenges that can make or break us. The amazing lesson learned is how the things that help us grow physically mirror the things that help us grow spiritually.

In The Bodybuilder: Where Physical Discipline and Godly Discipleship Collide, Rev. Anthony L. Pelella shares personal stories of years of intense training in bodybuilding and boxing. Pelella makes analogies to the way God moves in our lives so we can achieve the ultimate goal: living a life that is pleasing to Him. He bases the comparison on 1 Timothy 4:8, showing that while physical training has value for the here and now, godliness has value for now and eternity. He also compares the challenges we face in building our physical body with those God uses to build His body, the Church. Just as proper nutrition is vital to the success of a bodybuilder, a steady diet of God's Word is essential to being a person who truly follows the Lord.

The Bodybuilder demonstrates the coming together of the physical and spiritual worlds. It is one man's journey that can inspire many.
