Reviews of The Rest of Health
Truly remarkable! Engaging,
yet practical, this self-help book reads like a novel, but is
packed full of helpful strategies to enhance emotional,
physical, spiritual and relational well-being. We found
ourselves identifying with Mike in both his victories and
setbacks as he struggles to make positive changes in his life.
What is portrayed is a realistic, yet hopeful, sense of the
gradual process of growth and change, rather than promises of
quick fixes that so often end in disappointment. The helping
roles of friends, pastors, physicians and counselors are woven
into the story, allowing readers to explore potential options
for themselves. Whether on their own, or as part of a small
group, everyone could benefit from this book.

This book gets at the crux of healthy living, recognizing that
health, and the counterpart illness are directly tied to our
spiritual, social and physical condition. In an easy to read,
interactive, engaging format, The Rest of Health is a superb
book for anyone who wants to experience real health.

Marriage and family therapist Sonya Cameron, and her physician
husband Dave Cameron, M.D., have teamed up fascinating insights
from medicine and Christian counseling to bring readers
practical help with their lives. Using a
bio-psycho-social-spiritual holistic approach, they draw readers
into their book with a clever storyline, while providing
impactful observations and concrete suggestions for making
changes in seven key skill areas for healthy thinking, feeling
and being. I highly recommend that you read this book--and share
it with others!

Dave and Sonya have written a book that makes issues of the
heart understandable. We are invited inside the thoughts of a
man named Mike as he moves from being a religious man to someone
in relationship with a God who loves him. The images in the book
are vivid and we find ourselves sharing Mike’s experiences as he
discovers how the Bible applies in practical ways to health,
lifestyle, emotions and relationships. The process leads each of
us gently to reflect on our own lives.
The Rest of Health is a great
resource for small groups. The story leaves us engaged and
wanting to talk about what we’ve read, and the discussion
questions which follow each chapter make leading that discussion
easy and keep the conversation on track. Practical
self-assessments are provided for personal growth at the end of
the book.
Though the story reads easily
and is conversational in tone, it deals with deep theological
matters. It leaves the reader hungry to draw closer to God.
Through it all the fear of submitting to God is dispelled as we
discover how much He loves us and how faithful He is to care for
us.
