Look Inside Here 🔎

Do you need to keep your health concerns separate from your faith, or is health one of God’s concerns, with Biblical mandates to care for your body? Do you need to practice constant self-denial to have a healthy diet, or did God make your appetites for a reason? Does caring for God’s creation require increasingly more government control and spending like modern environmentalists advocate, or has God provided another route? Is dairy an unnatural food for humans? Do you need to avoid all grains? Or did God commission us with dominion over creation that allows us to raise and prepare glorious, nourishing foods for the benefit of man and creation?

Christians eat every day. Christians make decisions about food every day. And if you’ve ever listened to Christians sharing prayer requests, you know that health problems are a top concern for Christians. Yet few resources give Christians practical guidance, grounded in a Biblical worldview, on navigating food and nutrition. We would be led to believe that worldly advice about health is entirely secular and scientific, but this book reveals how modern beliefs about nutrition are rooted in evolution, humanism, and false religious worldviews, which inevitably mislead people into the chronic disease crisis we are contending with now.

While conventional approaches to nutrition teach that man can supersede God’s natural order and treat the human body like a machine, alternative approaches often take an evolutionary approach that recommends mimicking the lives of hunter-gather ancestors. There is no spiritual neutrality in food and nutrition. It’s time to replace the world’s ascetic, restrictive, and ineffective approach to nutrition with food-loving, creation-honoring, dominion-taking, Christian nutrition.

In Eat by Faith, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner Kat Owens lays a foundation for answering the question of “what is the ideal human diet” and then applies that foundation in practical detail to all the major divisions of foods. Using a Biblical worldview, science, and human history, Owens provides an approach to healthy eating that is deeply joyful, unrestrictive, ordered, and incredibly effective.
