Certainly these goals apply to The Jesus Workout, which is intended to help you stretch and grow spiritually, to better know God, and to get muscular in obeying and serving Him. The Jesus Workout is a 30-day program that introduces some of the Spiritual Disciplines that have strengthened Christians since the time of Christ. The book also provides various self-defense techniques for protecting yourself from evil and the "world," which wants Christians defeated, as well as spiritually fat, lazy and self-satisfied. If you take away just one action step from this book, and apply it to your life, it will change your spiritual life. Know that we are praying for your growth, and for your protection.
