How to Stay Spiritually Fit

How To Stay Spiritually Fit is indeed an Extreme Makeover. Pastor C. D. McMillan describes an exercise plan for Christians who wish to do more than play at Church. Each of his five chapters uses a physical exercise to make a powerful point about taking action in one s Spiritual life to grow in faith and faithfulness. Our stretching exercise is to repent, forgive ourselves and forgive others. Our pull-away exercise requires us to actively avoid people, places, and things that draw us under the power of evil. Our pull-up exercise involves reading the Bible to draw ourselves into the power of God. Our push-up exercise encourages us to daily (especially when we are disinclined) lift our eyes to see the work of God and be thankful. Finally, our running exercise insists upon our continuously moving forward in the work of building our faith through endurance and faithfulness. The book is a clever use of the modern fascination with exercise for the purpose of making an essential point about the nature of the spiritual life and the task of serious discipleship.
