Jesus Was Thin, So You Can Be Thin Too
Textbook page 296-297
This book is a valuable tool for people wanting to lose weight. It utilizes 150 scripture verses that can be applied to weight management. The most common comment I have received from those reading the book is that confronting obesity from a spiritual point of view is “sobering and true.”
The title is not sacrilegious. Psalm 22 is a very remarkable and specific prophecy of the sufferings of Jesus. We see the scene of the crucifixion clearly in the words, “A company of evildoers encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet—I can count all my bones—they stare and gloat over me; they divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.” This psalm comes to its fullest realization in Jesus.
Jesus first became emaciated during the 40 days of fasting in the wilderness at the beginning of his ministry. This was a lesson for us on appetite control. During His lifetime he walked hundreds of miles. He ate a sparce diet and often shared his meals with those in need.
Jesus was thin. This prophecy in Psalms indicates that “all his bones” were visible. His ribs were not covered with a layer of fat. Jesus is our example in all things. We need to strive to be thin like He was. We will be healthier for it.
This book is for anyone struggling with appetite control and can be used as accessory reading material for those taking the Best Weigh program.

The Healthiest People
The Science behind Seventh-day Adventist Success
Seventh-day Adventists are the healthiest people in the world. In every country where they have been studied, they have the longest life expectancy, less cancer, less cardiovascular disease, and the lowest mortality rate of any segment of the population.
Seventh-day Adventists have been studies most extensively in the United States. They have been investigated for over 70 years. The current cohort study enrolled nearly 100,000 subjects at the onset. Hundreds of peer-reviewed scientific papers have been published using Seventh-day Adventist data.
This book contains the most concise distillation of the most important of these studies. The book is crammed with graphs that accurately portray the Seventh-day Adventist health advantages. The Adventist lifestyle is examined in detail.
The references to the articles quoted in this book fill 22 pages. There is not a more comprehensive document published today summarizing the Seventh-day Adventist Health advantage.
This is the book you need to prove you know what you are talking about when advocating specific dietary and exercise recommendations for the public.
