"Your body is more spiritual than you might think. It's hard to talk to others about the peace of God when your own body is wracked with anxiety. Or to consider your body as the 'temple of the Holy Spirit' if you regard eating, exercise, or sleep as inherently unspiritual activities. If you truly believe God made your body, it requires a level of care on your part to take care of it.
Justin Whitmel Earley-bestselling author of Habits of the Household-is intimately familiar with the consequences of ignoring one's body. As a young lawyer, he fell into a period of anxiety and insomnia that nearly ruined his life. In his journey back to mental and spiritual health, he realized the healthy and unhealthy habits shaping his life weren't physical or spiritual but were physical and spiritual.
The Body Teaches the Soul is a practical guide on what the Bible says should be the union of body and spirit in our overall health. In this study, Justin shares personal stories, fascinating research, and biblical wisdom to reveal ten simple habits that will improve your health and deepen your relationship with God. You will especially learn how to:
- Connect deeply and positively with your body as the image of God while avoiding the mistakes of ignoring or idolizing the body.
- Explore how daily patterns of healthy eating can be as spiritual as fasting and how rhythms of feasting can become guilt-free celebrations of the world God made.
- Recover your mental health through upper-brain spiritual truths that work together with lower-brain physical practices to reshape thought patterns.
- Develop a sleep routine that honors your body's need for rest and your soul's need for sabbath.
- Discover how to lament sickness and injury while still praying with hope for the miracle of healing.
- Learn how exercise can create a humble lifestyle of loving others with your body instead of becoming a vain search for body image.
The Body Teaches the Soul is your guide to rediscovering the extraordinary gift of the body and the spiritual life that flows from it. It will help you reconnect with your whole self and repattern your life in the image of the God who made you and loves you as you are-body and soul.

Your body is more spiritual than you think.
How can we preach a gospel of peace, yet still find our bodies wracked by anxiety? How do we call our bodies temples of the Holy Spirit, yet regard eating, exercise, or sleep as inherently 'unspiritual' activities? How is it that modern Christians who claim God made their bodies have come to care so little about them?
Justin Whitmel Earley--bestselling author of The Common Rule and Habits of the Household--is intimately familiar with the consequences of ignoring the body. As a young lawyer, Earley collapsed into anxiety and insomnia that nearly ruined his life. In his journey back to mental and spiritual health, he realized that the healthy and unhealthy habits shaping his life weren't physical or spiritual; they were physical and spiritual.
The Body Teaches the Soul is a practical guide to the union of body and spirit in our overall health. With his characteristic vulnerability and story-driven approach, Earley shares personal failures, fascinating research, and biblical wisdom to reveal ten simple habits that will improve your health and deepen your relationship with God. In these pages, you will:
- Connect deeply and positively with your body as the image of God while avoiding the mistakes of ignoring or idolizing the body
- Explore how daily patterns of healthy eating can be as spiritual as fasting and how rhythms of feasting can become guilt-free celebrations of the world God made
- Recover your mental health through upper-brain spiritual truths that work together with lower-brain physical practices to reshape thought patterns

Discover the art of fostering life-giving, life-long friendships and the individual habits that make them possible.
Loneliness is deadly. We know this psychologically and spiritually. Sin wants us to be alone, and it often feels like today's world is tailor-made to keep us that way.
In Made for People-by bestselling author of The Habits of the Household-Justin Whitmel Earley explains why God made us to experience deep friendship and how we can cultivate them despite a culture of busyness, disconnection, and fear of vulnerability.
Through personal stories, research, and biblical wisdom, Justin paints of a picture of God's design for 'covenant friendships.' This book will teach you:
- How loneliness points to our God-given needs.
- Why vulnerability is the beginning of real friendship.
- How to deepen the friendships we already have.
- Key habits that create a lifestyle of friendship.
Isolation may be the norm of modern life, but it doesn't have to be the story of yours, and it isn't what you were made for. In fact, you were made to be among people who know you fully and love you anyway.
Leave behind loneliness and build the life of deep connection you long for.
Images and tables to help form covenant friendships are included in the audiobook companion PDF download."
"What you pray . . . shapes what you believe . . . shapes how you live.
The Lord’s Prayer is a beautiful, subversive passage of words given to the church by Jesus. It forms our imaginations and—given time—transforms us. And today, we are in desperate need of renewed imaginations. Christians are living in a wilderness of secularism. The historic Christian faith is seen as absurd at best and dangerously oppressive at worst. Followers of Jesus must begin to imagine life as a faithful minority who are ever seeking to subvert what is evil with good, what is hateful with love, what is corrosive with nurture.
In Liturgy in the Wilderness, Anglican priest D. J. Marotta shows how the Lord’s Prayer provides a framework in our secular age for understanding, believing, and living in light of Jesus Christ. When we pray the Lord’s Prayer, we’re planting seeds that can split concrete. We’re dripping water that can wear away granite. We’re shifting spiritual tectonic plates that lie deep beneath culture, society, and the depths of our own hearts. When we pray the Lord’s Prayer, our imaginations are stirred, moved, and transformed. We’re taken apart and put back together. We’re stripped of our idols, addictions, and false hopes. We’re offered new words of trust and mission. And we begin to see the world differently—the way Jesus saw it.
With this book, Marotta awakens our hearts to the beauty, sustaining power, and bounty of the Lord’s Prayer and shows us how to live faithfully in the wilderness."

"Habits form us more than we form them. The modern world is a machine of a thousand invisible habits, forming us into anxious, busy, and depressed people. We yearn for the freedom and peace of the gospel, but remain addicted to our technology, shackled by our screens, and exhausted by our routines. But because our habits are the water we swim in, they are almost invisible to us. What can we do about it? The answer to our contemporary chaos is to practice a rule of life that aligns our habits to our beliefs. The Common Rule offers four daily and four weekly habits, designed to help us create new routines and transform frazzled days into lives of love for God and neighbor. Justin Earley provides concrete, doable practices, such as a daily hour of phoneless presence or a weekly conversation with a friend. These habits are “common” not only because they are ordinary, but also because they can be practiced in community. They have been lived out by people across all walks of life?businesspeople, professionals, parents, students, retirees?who have discovered new hope and purpose. As you embark on these life-giving practices, you will find the freedom and rest for your soul that comes from aligning belief in Jesus with the practices of Jesus."
