From the author of Christ Walk comes an empowering Bible-based guide specially designed to help readers cultivate a daily physical and spiritual fitness routine over a 40-day period.
In this inspiring guide, wellness expert Anna Fitch Courie explores forty biblical journeys and how they can help us improve our physical and spiritual wellbeing. From Israel’s trek to the Promised Land to the Holy Family’s flight into Egypt to Paul’s missionary trips throughout Rome, this book takes readers on an adventure through scripture, encouraging them to journey on foot like their biblical forebears and to contemplate the power of faith as they make their own journeys. Each chapter offers a thought-provoking passage from scripture, a spiritual lesson readers can draw from it, and steps they can take to incorporate physical activity into their daily life. Meant to be consumed over 40 days—an ideal time period to establish a healthy, new habit—Walking with God promises to help readers start an invigorating fitness routine that will enrich not only their body but also their soul.
If you are looking for a spiritual journey that complements your fitness goals, then Walking with God: The 40-Day Fitness Program and Biblical Journey by Anna Fitch Courie is the perfect choice.
During the pandemic, Courie, author of the Christ Walk books, pondered finding the extraordinary of God in the ordinariness of being--like all of us--stuck at home. The author invites you to follow along the extraordinary journeys of common people from the Bible, while "walking" those miles physically. A walker herself, Courie has written a book designed to improve your mind, body, and spiritual health.
Walking with God is broken down into four sections: Trekking through the Old Testament, Exploring the New Testament, Traveling with the Apostles, and Walking with... (which explores walking through certain emotions and experiences).
Filled with Scripture, devotions, reflections, and a place to jot down how many steps you took, the miles you journeyed, what type of exercise you chose, and something special you thought about, the reader will also find tidbits of interesting information along the way: like how many miles there are between places these Biblical figures walked or how tall a mountain is. There are also helpful sidebars that share tools to put in your "journey backpack." These include podcasts, apps, equipment, and more.
