A Little Theology of Exercise: Enjoying Christ in Body and Soul

"A Pastor Looks at Physical Exercise and Its Potential to Serve Spiritual Life and Joy We live in an age dominated by screens. For many, life is sedentary, and it's become increasingly difficult to prioritize physical activity. Quietly conformed to this new normal, they feel sluggish and unmotivated. Others, however, have become entangled in a fitness culture that prioritizes the self, fuels pride, and coddles idolatry. Is it possible to make exercise holy? A Little Theology of Exercise explores how stewarding our bodies can serve the soul, honor God, and bless others. Combining biblical texts with practical guidance, pastor and author David Mathis encourages readers to embrace modest exercise as a way to deepen their knowledge and enjoyment of Christ and then reflect his love in the world. By placing Christ at the center of physical training, readers will discover a greater joy in exercise and an even deeper joy in their relationship with God. - Christ Centered: Demonstrates how effective body stewardship serves the soul, fostering the ability to know and enjoy Christ better  - Balanced: Helps readers embrace new healthy habits while navigating the challenges of sub-Christian motivations  - Timely: In our sedentary age, this resource spurs physical movement and aims to enrich spiritual joy - Written by David Mathis: Bestselling author of Habits of Grace: Enjoying Jesus through the Spiritual Disciplines"

Rich Wounds: The Countless Treasures of the Life, Death, and Triumph of Jesus

"Thirty short but profound reflections that help you to meditate on and marvel at the sacrificial love of Jesus. This book also works fantastically as a devotional. These short but profound reflections from David Mathis, author of The Christmas We Didn't Expect, will help you to look deeper at Jesus' life, sacrificial death and spectacular resurrection - enabling you to treasure anew who Jesus is and what he has done for us. Many of us are so familiar with the Easter story that it becomes easy to miss subtle details and difficult to really enjoy its meaning. This book will help you to pause and marvel at Jesus, whose now-glorified wounds are a sign of his unfailing love and the decisive victory that he has won: 'He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.' (Isaiah 53:5) This book works fantastically as a devotional at any time of year. The chapters on Holy Week make it especially helpful during the Lent season and at Easter."
