Book Review of Why Eat Like Jesus Ate?: How to Get Healthy and Prevent Disease by Following the Nutritional Principles of the Bible

reviewed on + 6 more book reviews


I read two other books by Lorrie Medford and really enjoyed her writings. The rationale of thinking related to nutrition and health is quite different then most Americans believe. Basically, poor nutrition, processed foods, preservatives and taking prescribed medications is the cause of most diseases and health related problems.

However, "Why Eat Like Jesus Ate?" is not one of her better works. I really enjoyed the book until I got to part three of the book. The writing style changed and shifted in thinking. The third part was almost to heavy on biblical verses, where in the beginning of the book the verses and biblical references fit in better with the context of what was written. This book however, has excellent references, studies and relevant points that makes a person think twice about many things in life you just take for granted related to health.
